Abstract
A 33-year-old patient had uncomplicated anterior chamber intraocular l ens implantation (Worst-Fechner biconcave myopia lens) to correct high myopia. Immediately after surgery, she developed anterior ischemic op tic neuropathy likely associated with increased intraocular pressure a nd systemic hypotension. To our knowledge, this is the first documente d case of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after anterior chamber in traocular lens implantation to correct high myopia in a phakic eye.
