Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Refractive Surgery

Context:

High myopia presents significant visual impairment.
Current treatments for high myopia have limitations.

Purpose:

To assess the efficacy and safety of clear lens extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) implantation in patients with high myopia.

Summary:

The study included 39 eyes of 26 patients with high myopia (mean spherical equivalent -17.0 D).
Following clear lens extraction and PC IOL implantation, the mean postoperative spherical equivalent improved to -3.3 D.
Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved in 84.6% of eyes, with the proportion achieving BCVA 0.5 or better increasing from 23% to 59%.

Impact:

Clear lens extraction with PC IOL implantation demonstrates favorable visual outcomes in high myopia.
The procedure shows a low incidence of complications, including posterior capsule opacification (18%) and one case of retinal detachment (successfully treated).
This surgical option provides a viable solution for visual rehabilitation in high myopia patients.
