Long-Term Endothelial Cell Loss in Patients with Artisan Myopia and Artisan Toric Phakic Intraocular Lenses

A significant linear chronic EC loss was reported after implantation with myopic or toric iris-fixated pIOLs. A smaller ACD and smaller distance between pIOL edge and endothelium were risk factors for EC loss. Modification of preoperative age-related ECD thresholds is indicated to maintain an ECD that warrants safe future combined pIOL explantation and cataract surgery.
