AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect of implantation of phakic anterior chamber iris clip intraocular lens in high myopia patients.

METHODS: Fifty eyes of 28 high myopia patients with anterior chamber phakic Verisyse iris clip intraocular lens implantation were observed. The visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, corneal and anterior chamber inflammation changes were observed after the procedure.

RESULTS: Fifty eyes of 28 high myopia patients were successfully accepted implantation of phakic anterior chamber iris clip intraocular lens. Visual acuity of all the patients was increased after operation. And one year later, visual acuity of 38 eyes(76%)≥1.0, 12 eyes(24%)≥0.5, best corrected visual acuity of 40 eyes(80%)≥1.0, 10 eyes(20%)≥0.5. In 22 eyes, the postoperative best corrected visual acuity were reached and exceeded preoperative best corrected visual acuity.

CONCLUSION: Implantation of iris clip intraocular lens in high myopia patients with anterior chamber lens was feasibility and effective.
