Background: To investigate quantitative and morphometric endothelial changes in phakic eyes implanted with an iris-fixed phakic intraocular lens in Korean patients during the long term follow up period.Design: A prospective interventional case series.Participants: Sixty six eyes of 37 patients undergoing iris-fixed phakic intraocular lens (Artisan, Ophtec B.V., Groningen, The Netherlands) surgery.Methods: We prospectively examined endothelial cell density, coefficient variations, frequency of hexagons, and endothelial cell loss in 66 phakic eyes implanted with an iris-fixed phakic intraocular lens. The effect of the anterior chamber depth and intraocular lens power were also statistically analyzed between preoperative and postoperative periods.Main Outcome Measure: endothelial .. View More»
