title: [Phacoemulsification in high myopia].
abstract: In 39 eyes of 26 patients with a baseline refraction of -6 to -28 dioptres phacoemulsification with implantation of an intraocular lens was performed. During the 3-23-month follow-up period there was no case of detachment of the retina no development of clinically significant secondary cataract. The resulting refraction of the eyes was +1 to -6 from the intended refraction. In none of the patients deterioration of visually acuity was recorded.
