This is a case report of a female patient who, due to high myopia, had silicone phakic intraocular lens type Fyodorov with plate-haptics implanted in the posterior chamber (PC pIOLs). The anterior subcapsular cataract (ASC) resulted in significant reduction of visual acuity and, therefore, the patient, after 16 years of the first surgery, underwent another surgical intervention. She had the pIOLs explantation, phacoemulsification and implantation of the flexible intraocular lens (IL) in the capsular bag. Explantation of the pIOLs, cataract surgery by phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were carried out through the same clear corneal incision and the intraoperative course was uneventful. The visual acuity of the operated eye was equal to pre-cataract period.
