Potential Harms of Posterior Chamber Phakic IOL: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Complication Incidence

Key Points

• Complications following pcpiol implantation are generally low, with severe vision-threatening events being rare.
• Incidence rates may be underestimated due to high risk of bias and predominantly short follow-up periods.
• Assessment includes checking factors like centration, axis alignment, and vault in early postoperative stages.
• Long-term monitoring of endothelial health and anterior segment is essential for patient safety.
