Abstract

A correction about phakic intraocular lens power calculation process, as it was stated by Li, Song & Song, is provided. It is explained that this calculation is based on the Van der Heijde formula and not on biometric formulas. A comment about the mechanisms of late endothelial cell loss following phakic intraocular lenses is done.
