RODRIGUEZ SUAREZ, Belkys et al. Bilateral cataract surgery in a patient with a phakic intraocular lens. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.3  Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 1561-3070.

Corneal refractive surgery is a good option to correct the refractive defect and achieve good vision without the use of eyeglasses or contact lenses. When it is not possible, phakic lenses are a viable choice, particularly in young patients who maintain accommodation. A case is presented of a female patient with an antecedent of phakic lens implantation 13 years before who presents at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology with vision reduction in both eyes. Mention should be made of the importance of obtaining biometric measurements, especially of the axial length, if it changes after phakic lens implantation, for accurate calculation of the lens to be implanted and the achievement of a good refractive result. Optical interferometry is the best way to obtain those measurements, and axial length does not seem to change with the presence of a phakic lens.
