Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens adjustment-causes and complications: a retrospective cohort study

With a high safety profile and reversibility, ICL implantation is a good alternative to corneal-based refractive surgery in eyes unsuitable for laser vision correction. The rate of secondary procedures in our study was 6.26%. Old age is a risk factor for secondary surgical interventions in the repositioning group, whereas abnormal vault and toric ICL rotation in the explantation group necessitated subsequent surgical procedures. Overall, ICL implantation demonstrates a good efficacy index and safety profile in patients with diverse refractive errors.
