[A clinical observation on intraocular lens implantation in high myopic eyes with cataract].
Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed on 124 high myopic eyes with cataract of 101 cases whose mean period of follow-up was 16.4 months. Post-operatively, 95.97% of these eyes were relieved from blindness and 75.00%, from visual handicap. The incidence of posterior capsular opacity was 22.58% and only did 1.61% of the eyes occur retinal detachment. Intraoperatively, posterior capsular rupture occurred in 5.65% of the eyes. The results indicate that ECCE with IOL implantation performed on eyes with high myopia and cataract is effective.
