Long-term longitudinal changes in axial length in the Caucasian myopic and hyperopic population with a phakic intraocular lens.

Myopic eyes corrected with an iris-fixated pIOL show continuous increase in axial length at an adult age. Although this study is limited to subjects with a pIOL, this is the first time myopization in Caucasian adults has been reported in a large long-term longitudinal study.
