Abstract
Surgical correction of high myopia is indicated in a limited number of cases. Techniques include (epi)keratophakia, keratomileusis and implantation of a negative-power IOL. The iris claw lens, fixed to the midperiphery of the iris, has proved its safety in aphakic eyes. The model has been adapted by giving it a vault in order to make it suitable for implantation in high myopic phakic eyes. The implantation technique and short-term results of patients operated by Worst are presented.Keywords
