Phakic Presbyopic Intraocular Lenses: A Systematic Review

This systematic review aims to evaluate the visual, refractive, and safety outcomes of phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) designed for presbyopia correction. The findings indicate that contemporary PIOL designs achieve high rates of functional spectacle independence and acceptable safety profiles, although concerns about glare and halos were noted. The authors emphasize the need for independent, long-term studies to better understand the definitive role of these lenses in refractive surgery.
