The aim of this study was to determine whether implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation to correct myopia is an effective and safe surgical option even after long-term follow up.A retrospective observational study was carried out.A total of 281 eyes of 145 myopic patients were included in the study.Patients underwent ICL implantation and had the follow-up period of at least 5 years (87 ± 18.9 months).Outcome measures included uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities, refraction for the evaluation of efficacy, safety, stability and predictability, ICL vault and adverse events.The final mean logMAR uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities were 0.02 ± 0.19 and -0.12 ± 0.13, respectively. The mean efficacy and safety indices were 1.04 ± 0.32 and 1.20 ± 0.26. The mean spherical equivalent decreased from -8.74 ± 2.27 diopter (D) to -0.58 ± 0.72 D, and there was high predictability with 69.8
