INTRODUCTION

If it were possible to adjust the refraction of a pseudophakic eye by means of an adjustable posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC/IOL), subjective comfort or visual function would be improved. This is especially true in children. Several approaches to create an adjustable intraocular lens (IOL) are currently under study.^1-3 This field is still in an early stage of its evolution. The *Acri.Tec AR-1 PC/IOL (*Acri.Tec, Hennigsdorf, Germany) is a mechanically and reversibly adjustable PC/IOL, which has been implanted and adjusted in adult human eyes.³ So far the results after short-term follow-up of the initial cohort suggest that the use of this PC/IOL would be safe. Through continued observation of the eyes from this cohort we have tried to determine the long-term safety of this PC/IOL, behavior of the PC/IOL after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, and refractive stability of the eyes.
