Long-term endothelial changes in phakic eyes after Artisan intraocular lens implantation to correct myopia

Continuous endothelial cell loss was observed after surgery during a 5-year follow-up, especially during the first 2 years. A decrease in the coefficient of variation and an increase in the percentage of hexagonal cells were observed over time, reflecting the increasing stability and remodeling of the corneal endothelial cells 5 years postoperatively.
