Abstract
Intracorneal hydrogel lenses were tolerated relatively well by stromal tissue, providing a reasonably stable and predictable way to correct moderate hyperopia. However, induced astigmatism, stromal opacification, decentration, and night halos and glare occurred in a significant number of eyes. To ensure safety, deep flap cuts are preferred and these eyes should be watched carefully to avoid decentration of the lens in the early postoperative period.
