PURPOSE: To assess the refractive effects and incidence of postoperative complications in patients with high myopia after cataract extraction.
SETTING: University Eye Clinic, Trieste, Italy.
METHODS: This noncomparative retrospective study comprised all eyes (N = 388) having cataract extraction and implantation of an intraocular lens with a power less than 11.0 diopters (D) between 1986 and 1999. The preoperative and postoperative refractions; preoperative, postoperative, and final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA); and postoperative complications were analyzed. The mean follow-up was 47.16 months +/- 32.83 (SD) (range 8 to 146 months).
RESULTS: Phacoemulsification was performed in 237 eyes, extracapsular cataract extraction in 147 eyes, and intracapsular cataract extraction in 4 eyes. The mean preoperative BCVA was 0.20 +/- 0.21 and the mean postoperative BCVA, 0.58 +/- 0.32. At the final evaluation, the mean BCVA was 0.50 +/- 0.33. The mean refraction was -15.95 +/- 5.86 D preoperatively and -2.00 +/- 1.62 D postoperatively. One eye (0.26%) developed a retinal detachment postoperatively. Of the 127 eyes (32.73%) having a neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification, 1 had a macular retinal hole. Posterior detachment of the vitreous occurred in 78.6% of cases. Peripheral retinal photocoagulation was required in 8 cases postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: Refractive lens exchange led to good functional results and a low incidence of postoperative complications and can thus be regarded as a viable technique to correct high myopia associated with cataract. However, further study is required before it can be routinely recommended for the correction of high myopia in eyes with a transparent crystalline lens.
