Abstract:
This study comprised 9 eyes with severe myopia of 7 patients (4 male, 3 female) between 36 and 50 years, having phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation with suitable capacity. Follow up duration was 12 months. Results: the preoperative uncorrected visual acuity was < 1/10 in all patients. Postoperatively, 55.5% cases with uncorrected visual acuity and 66.7% cases achieved the best corrected visual acuity of 5/10 or better. The mean preoperative hyperopic spherical equivalent was +6,89 ± 1,67D reduced to +0,75±0,62D. Postoperative complications were low: 1 eye had posterior capsule opaque (11,1%), 1 eye had inflammatory membrane. No intraoperative complications
