Abstract

Implantable phakic contact lens (IPCL) exchange or removal is commonly done in case of wrong size implantation leading to either pupillary block glaucoma or cataract, residual refractive error, recurrent uveitis, and endothelial cell loss. Usual time for phakic lens exchange is within 3–6 months after the primary procedure. In this case report, we have shown that IPCL exchange can be considered as an option even after a long period of 7 years in young, high myopic patients, where clear lens extraction and corneal refractive procedure are not recommended.
