Correction methods include contact lenses, intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, piggybacking a supplementary IOL, and corneal refractive surgery.The Staar surgical implantable contact lens (ICL) was first used to correct myopia and hyperopia in phakic patients. It is now being used to correct pseudophakic anisometropia.1,2The following case describes the successful management of pseudophakic anisometropia using an ICL in a patient with high myopia and pseudoexfoliation. An 80 year old woman was referred to us for correction of pseudophakic anisometropia. She had bilateral pseudoexfoliation and was highly myopic, her original refraction being −14.00 DS right eye, −13.50/+1.75×20 left eye. In 1989 she underwent left cataract extraction with … ER -
