This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is studying a type of eye surgery where doctors place a special lens inside the eye to correct severe nearsightedness. The research focuses on whether this implant affects the health of the cornea—the clear front layer of your eye. Researchers will use a special microscope to photograph and count the cells in the cornea before and after the surgery to see if the lens implant causes any changes.
While this type of lens implant can help people see better without glasses or contacts, doctors want to make sure it doesn't damage the delicate cells that keep the cornea healthy over time. This study will help them understand the long-term safety of this treatment.

If you qualify and join this study, you would receive the phakic intraocular lens implant surgery as planned. Before your surgery and at follow-up visits afterward, researchers will use a special microscope called a specular microscope to photograph and examine the cells in your cornea. This imaging is painless and non-invasive—the microscope does not touch your eye. The study involves about 30 participants total, and you would be monitored to ensure your corneal health remains stable after the implant.
