Modern cataract surgery in a highly myopic population.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A retrospective series of 117 highly myopic eyes with extracapsular cataract extractions and posterior chamber lens implants is presented. The results are analysed with reference to the current understanding of the complications anticipated. Of particular note is the use of low-powered posteriorly vaulted posterior chamber implants, with and without primary posterior capsulotomy. The results show a low retinal detachment rate (one eye, mean follow-up 12 months); low induced astigmatism (average 0.86 D); low myopic postoperative refraction (median -1.0 D); and high patient satisfaction.

Prevalence of myopic shifts among patients seeking cataract surgery.
Modern cataract surgery by phacoemulsification is a widely accepted procedure with a rapid recovery time. The prescription of specific intraocular lens, implanted during surgery, makes it possible to anticipate whether the patient will need reading glasses after the procedure. The present study analyses a sample of cataract surgery patients to show the frequency of myopic shifts related to nucl...
متن کاملLens surgery (cataract and refractive lens exchange) and retinal detachment risk in myopes: still an issue?
A frequent point of debate between refractive and retinal surgeons is the risk of pseudophakic retinal detachment (RD) in highly myopic eyes, defined as eyes with an axial length greater than 26 mm (sometimes even exceeding 30 mm) and usually with a spherical equivalent superior to e6.00 D. This degree of myopia is mostly associated with degenerative changes that involve sclera, choroid, retina...
