RUIZ RODRIGUEZ, Yanele et al. The use of ultrasound biomicroscopy in our experience with Artiflex phakic lenses to correct high myopia. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2010, vol.23, n.1, pp. 113-121. ISSN 1561-3070.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of the position of the implanted Artiflex intraocular lenses and the anterior segment structures at "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology in January 2006 _ January 2008 period. METHODS: A prospective and descriptive study was carried out in which the universe of study was 20 eyes implanted with this type of lenses.
