Phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) are implantable lenses that are surgically placed in the eye without removing the natural lens, allowing light to focus on the retina and improve uncorrected visual acuity. PIOLs are used to correct high myopia or myopic astigmatism beyond the range of laser vision correction. They can be placed in the anterior chamber angle-fixed or iris-fixed, or in the posterior chamber. Candidates for PIOLs must be over 21, have a stable refraction for at least one year, a clear natural lens, myopia not suitable for laser correction, and unsatisfactory vision with other options. The document then discusses different types of anterior chamber and posterior chamber
