22 Phakic IOL implantation
Since the patient was only 22 years old, we wanted to check the pIOL position as to be on the
safe side. We checked the predicted pIOL position at 40 years after surgery (Figure 182). Here the
simulated minimum clearance is 1 mm.
Conclusion:
The amount of endothelium cells was in the normal range. The patient was young and her refraction
could be expected to remain stable over the next year. The minimum clearance of 1.63 mm between
pIOL and endothelium was large enough. The aging prediction showed 1.32 mm clearance after 20
years, which was sufficient.
