Abstract:
We evaluated pseudophakia in high myopic patients whose an axial lenght were 26mm and over. Cataract surgery was performed with ECCE and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantations from May 1986 to May 1991 on 69 patients (80 eyes). The results were as follows; 1. Most myopic patients were good candidates for posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation regardless of axial length. 2. Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantations in high myopia were a good refractive surgery. 3. The theoretical formula had better predictabilized than the empirical formula in apredictive accuracy.
