ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the variation of the corneal endothelium in those patients operated on from high myopia, with the use of iris claw anterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses.
Methods: A prospective, longitudinal and descriptive study was carried out in a sample of 26 eyes from 15 patients. They had been operated on from high myopia with the use of iris claw anterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (Artisan and Artiflex) at the Cornea and Refractive Surgery Service of "Ramon Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from September 2009 through May 2010.
Results: It was evinced that there was endothelial cell loss after surgery (six months) of 6.9%. In the postoperative phase, hexagonality and variation coefficient diminished whereas pakimetry did not show significant differences.
Conclusions: The present study indicated the existence of minimal damage in the corneal endothelium with the use of the anterior chamber phakic lenses for the surgical correction of high myopias.
