[Long term postural myopic shift assessment after posterior iris-claw aphakic intraocular lens implantation].

Purpose: Posterior chamber iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) is often used in aphakic eyes with inadequate capsular support. Postoperatively, patients may describe better capabilities for near reading in a face-down position. The goal was to evaluate the indications, visual outcomes and complications of this IOL and to compare postoperative spherical equivalent between the prone and the face-down position.
