    Purpose. To evaluate the quantitative and qualitative state of corneal endothelial cell of patients after implantation of posterior-chamber phacic intraocular lenses (FIOL) at myopia in the distant period of study.

    Material and methods. 25 patients (47 eyes) were studied after implantation of posterior-chamber FIOL at myopia in the distant period of study (from 14 up to 28 years).

    Results. Implantation and long-lasting presence of posterior-chamber FIOL in the eye revokes significant decrease of endothelial cells density, polymetagysmus and pleomorphisms, reduction of hexagonality percent, increase of variability factor of cell dimensions. Taking into account a high frequency if cataract development in the eyes with implanted FIOLs, growing age of the patients and probability of endothelium decompensation, it is necessary to study the quantitative and qualitative state of corneal endothelial cell in dynamics.

    Conclusion. When planning FIOL explantation and phacoemulsification with implantation of intraocular lens of the given group of patients it is necessary to include endothelial endoscopy to the complex preoperative study.

    Key words: ametropia correction, myopia, implantation of posterior-chamber phacic intraocular lenses, endothelial corneal microscopy.
