[Cataract surgery in patients with myopia].
Cataract surgery in myopic eyes can be difficult. We present a retrospective study of 97 myopic eyes, with axial length of at least 26 mm. All eyes, extracapsular extraction with or without intraocular posterior chamber lens. Mean follow up is 14 months, and 54% of cases have a 1 year follow up. In only one case did a retinal break without retinal detachment appear after surgery, that was successfully treated with argon laser photocoagulation. A longer follow up of our cases will be necessary to estimate long term complications of cataract extraction in myopic eyes.
