Editing Myopia (section)

====Phakic intra-ocular lens====
Instead of modifying the corneal surface, as in laser vision correction (LVC), this procedure involves implanting an additional lens inside the eye (i.e., in addition to the already existing natural lens). While it usually results in good control of the refractive change, it can induce potential serious long-term complications such as glaucoma, cataract and endothelial decompensation.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Menezo JL, Peris-Martínez C, Cisneros-Lanuza AL, Martínez-Costa R | title = Rate of cataract formation in 343 highly myopic eyes after implantation of three types of phakic intraocular lenses | journal = Journal of Refractive Surgery | volume = 20 | issue = 4 | pages = 317–24 | year = 2004 | pmid = 15307392 | doi = 10.3928/1081-597X-20040701-03 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Torun N, Bertelmann E, Klamann MK, Maier AK, Liekfeld A, Gonnermann J | title = Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens to correct myopia: long-term follow-up | journal = Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery | volume = 39 | issue = 7 | pages = 1023–8 | date = July 2013 | pmid = 23664355 | doi = 10.1016/j.jcrs.2013.01.041 | s2cid = 31750663 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Moshirfar M, Imbornoni LM, Ostler EM, Muthappan V | title = Incidence rate and occurrence of visually significant cataract formation and corneal decompensation after implantation of Verisyse/Artisan phakic intraocular lens | journal = Clinical Ophthalmology | volume = 8 | pages = 711–6 | year = 2014 | pmid = 24748765 | pmc = 3986296 | doi = 10.2147/OPTH.S59878 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
