    Author: Patel SR, Chu DS, Ayres BD, Hersh PS.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2005 Nov; 31(11):2212-5. PubMed ID: 16412940.
    Abstract:
    Phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is an increasingly popular option in surgical correction of refractive error. To date, reports of long-term morbidity are infrequent in the literature. We encountered 3 patients who experienced corneal decompensation and cataract progression following angle-fixated anterior chamber phakic IOL placement.
