[Removal of inital cataract in high degenerative myopia--selection of surgical technique and planned refractive effect].
Visual function deteriorates additionally in high degenerative myopia in consequence of initial cataract causing increase of refractive index and refractive error. This paper presents indications for removal of initial cataract with posterior chamber lens implantation to improve visual acuity, colour perception, contrast sensitivity and to broaden visual field. Particular conditions of cataract surgery in myopic eye, selection criteria of operative technique and anaesthesia, power and diameter of implant and possible postoperative complications are discussed.
