Phakic intraocular lenses (IOL) are a boon for patients who want spectacle independence but are unable to get refractive correction through laser platforms due to high refractive error or certain corneal contraindications. Phakic IOL's (PIOL) have their own set of complications and challenges, the most important being getting the sizing right. This paper attempts to solve the problem of accurate sizing of PIOL's. Parameters needed for calculating the ideal size of PIOL's have been studied in a step by step manner using all possible tools depending upon the availability and preference of the surgeon. The pros and cons of using a particular tool for measurements have been highlighted along with illustrative case examples to help surgeons who are starting PIOL implantation surgery.
