“…To the best of our knowledge, there are no published results in the literature concerning long-term follow-up of the phakic IOL used in our study. However, the implantable collamer lens (ICL) is very similar, and there are reports of 10 years of follow-up with the ICL (15,16). Fernández-Vega-Cueto et al (17) found that prior to implantation of the Visian ICL (Staar Surgical AG, Nidau, Switzerland), the mean SE was -8.30±2.98 D; after surgery, it was -0.19±0.32 D, -0.29±0.38 D, and -0.37±0.47 D at 12, 24, and 36 months, respectively.…”
