Abstract:
We have clinically evaluated 40 cases of high myopia(47 catarctous eyes) with an axial length of over 26 mm which were treated with ECCE and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation from January 1987 to June 1990 at the 51. Mary's Hospital in the Department of Ophthalmology of Catholic University Medical College. The results were as follows: 1. Most common axial length was from 26.00 mm to 26.50 mm in 24 eyes(51.5%)and most common anterior chamber depth was from 2.51 mm to 3.00 mm in 22 eyes(48.6%). 2. The most common associated diseaes was vitreous opacity(19 eyes: 40.4%). 3. Posterior chamber lens power ranged from +10.00D to +14.00D, and the most frequently implanted posterior chamber lens power was +10.50D. 4. Postoperative corrected visual acuity was the same as preoperative corrected visual acuity in 46 eyes(97.9%) and improved up to 0.5 or more in 31 eyes(66.0%).
