Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (P-IOLs) are a very good option to resolve refractive problems, principally in patients with high myopia. Recently, it has been reported that a high percentage of myopic patients evaluated by ultra biomicroscopy (UBM) for this type of surgery or who already have a P-IOL implanted, had cysts in the iridociliary sulcus(1,2).
