Abstract
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in high myopia.Methods Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was performed on 94 patients(104 eyes) with high myopia with axial length26 mm(the mean axail length 27.4 mm).Results The uncorrected or corrected visual acuity 0.5 or better at 1 month was 84 eyes(80.76%),1.0 or better at 1 month was 34 eyes (32.69%).Conclusion Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in high myopia offers the advantages of rapid and better rehabilitation of visual acuity and more stabilization of postoperative astigmatism in patients with high mypia,whereas for eyes with the exial lengths over 30 mm,the recovery or the visual acuity was less satisfactory.
