The implantable collamer lens (ICL) is a widely used posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens that achieves excellent refractive results. Nonetheless, serious postoperative complications related to inadequate vault have been previously reported. Therefore, lens exchange is advised when the vault is out of the recommended ranges. This article presents a case with persistent low vault after lens exchange in which no clinical evidence of crystalline lens opacity or decrease in uncorrected distance visual acuity has been identified during the 6-year clinical follow-up performed to date. Therefore, this suggests that clinical follow-up could be an appropriate approach for patients presenting with low vault, especially those who are older than 40 years and have a history of lens exchange.
