Abstract

Posterior chamber phakic IOL implantation with the Staar Collamer plate lens is an effective method for correcting high hyperopia. Large, patent iridotomies are important in hyperopic eyes to lower the risk of postoperative pupillary block. Improved phakic IOL power calculation formulas will refine predictability of refractive outcome.
