Clinical observation of negative or low degree intraocular lens implantation for high myopia

Abstract

AIM: To study the effect on high myopia accompanied with cataract treated by phacoemulsification and implantation of the LOW dimensionality posterior chamber intraocular lens(IOL).METHODS: Ninety-four eyes of high myopia accompanied with cataract treated by phacoemulsification and implantation of the LOW dimensionality posterior chamber IOL. The follow-up time was for 3 months.RESULTS: The operative complications of posterior capsule were in 2 eyes during surgery, cataract in 3 eyes after surgery.CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification and implantation of the LOW dimensionality posterior chamber IOL used to treat high myopia accompanied with cataract can prevent complication and recover the visual function.
