Cataract surgery in high myopia (axial length ≥26 mm) appears safe, with a low incidence of retinal breaks. Further long-term follow-up is needed to assess all potential complications in these myopic eyes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Myopia Research

Context:

  • Cataract surgery in eyes with high myopia presents unique challenges.
  • High myopia is defined as an axial length of at least 26 mm.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of cataract extraction in a cohort of myopic eyes.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 97 myopic eyes undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction.
  • Mean follow-up was 14 months, with 54% followed for at least 1 year.
  • Only one case developed a retinal break without detachment, successfully treated with laser photocoagulation.

Impact:

  • This study suggests cataract extraction is relatively safe in myopic eyes.
