Setting: Centro Oftalmológico Real Vision, and Instituto de Investigaciones Oftalmológicas Ramón Castroviejo, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain Methods: Sixteen phakic myopic eyes that had had PRL implantation were examined by UBM 1 month after surgery. The PRL position, PRL-crystalline lens peripheral distance, and central distance between the corneal endothelium and the PRL were measured. Results: Both haptics were on the zonule in 6 eyes, in the ciliary sulcus in 5 eyes, and impacted in the ciliary body in 1 eye. In the 4 remaining eyes, the haptics were in mixed positions. The mean PCP IOL crystalline lens peripheral distance in the minor axis was 588.1 μm ± 232.5 (SD), and the mean PCP IOL-endothelium central distance was 2082.8 ± 277.6 μm. Conclusions: Phakic refractive lens implantation should be done carefully because of the sulcus location of the haptics in many cases. This, with the iris-PRL contact, suggests caution for the long-term outcome. © 2003 ASCRS and ESCRS.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0886-3350(03)00239-6https://journals.lww.com/jcrs/abstract/2003/10000/ultrasound_biomicroscopy_of_silicone_posterior.29.aspxrestricted access616.75Oftalmología3201.09 Oftalmología
