Abstract

High myopia remains a challenge for refractive surgeons. The use of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), which has become increasingly popular for the treatment of myopia (1,2), is limited in high myopic eyes, because a residual corneal stromal thickness of 250 µm is essential to minimize the risk of corneal ectasia (3). Apart from that, large excimer laser corrections may result in poor optical quality of the reshaped cornea (4). Clear lens extraction, as another method for treating high refractive errors, results in accommodation loss, at the same time it carries all the risks of cataract surgery ((5)-(7)). An evolving technique for the treatment of myopia in young phakic patients is the implantation of phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs). In this chapter the main types of these lenses, the criteria for their implantation, their advantages, and their possible complications will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
