Endothelial Cell Loss After Toric Iris-fixated Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation: Three-year Follow-up
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 02/14/07
Mana Tehrani, MD., et al. - Conclusions: Annual cumulative cell loss was -1.9% for the myopic group and -1.6% for the hyperopic group, which is two to three times greater than physiological annual cell loss in normal eyes without surgery. An annual endothelial cell count analysis is highly recommended in every patient after iris-claw lens implantation to detect potential progressive cell loss
