Shallower preoperative anterior chamber depth and aqueous depth were significantly correlated with more long-term endothelial cell loss in patients with iris-fixated phakic IOLs, according to a study.
Ninety eyes of 57 patients who underwent phakic IOL implantation were included in the retrospective study. The follow-up period averaged 11.8 years, ranging from 9.1 to 17.3 years. The mean change in endothelial cell density was –894 cells/mm2.
In the eyes of patients with preoperative anterior chamber depth of 3.2 mm or less, the mean endothelial cell density change from baseline was –53.5%
