DOI: 10.37039/1982.8551.20210012
ABSTRACT
Implantation of phakic intraocular lenses for refractive purpose is a safe and efficient elective surgical alternative. This option should be considered to electively treat ametropia when laser corneal refractive surgery has higher risk of complications, either due to corneal characteristics or the magnitude of ametropia. This article provides a prospective review of the phakic lenses available in the Brazilian market in 2020 and their characteristics.
