Safety and Efficacy of Implantable Collamer Lens Versus Implantable Phakic Lens IPCL in Myopic Patients; A Comparative Study

Phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) have proven to be a great alternative to corneal refractive surgery in certain situations. They offer several advantages over corneal techniques, such as being suitable for high myopes and causing relatively fewer higher-order aberrations

The IPCL offers a distinct economic advantage as the cost of the IPCL implant is only 2. times that of the ICL implant. Moreover, the IPCL can correct higher degrees of myopia, up to -30. D, compared to the maximum correction of -18. D provided by the ICL.
