An article published in scientific reports was received on 18-dec-2020, entitled 'etiology and outcomes of current posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens extraction.' the article states that icl extraction was required in a total of 8 out of 770 eyes.Five of the eyes experienced progression of pre-existing cataract formation; including nuclear cataract (2 eyes); anterior subcapsular cataract in the peripheral area (1 eye) and paracentral area (2 eyes).Three eyes had residual refractive errors immediately after initial surgery due to inaccurate icl power calculation.In the cases of cataract formation phacoemulsification and iol implantation was performed.In the cases of residual refractive errors the explanted lens was replaced with a replacement icl.
