J Cataract Refract Surg. 2007 Jan;33(1):159-61. doi: 10.1016/j.jcrs.2006.07.045.

Abstract

Two patients developed a hyperopic shift following uneventful phacoemulsification with implantation of a Collamer plate-haptic intraocular lens (Staar Surgical) in the capsular bag. Posterior bowing of the IOL was corrected by IOL exchange, achieving near emmetropia.
