title: [A clinical observation of low and negative power intraocular lens implantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the clinical effects of the low power and negative power acrylic foldable intraocular lens (Acrysof IOL) implantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty patients (56 eyes) received phacoemulsification and above mentioned Acrysof IOL implantation. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, visual acuity and refractive error were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No intraoperative complications occurred. During 3 months of follow-up, the corrected visual acuity was less than 0.1 in 2 eyes, 0.1 - 0.4 in 12 eyes, 0.5 - 0.9 in 36 eyes, and 1.0 - 1.5 in 6 eyes. Posterior capsular opacification was found in 4 eyes (7.2%). Capsular distension was found in 1 eye (1.8%). No retinal detachment was seen.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is safe and effective for highly myopic patients with cataract to implant a low or negative power Acrysof IOL after phacoemulsification.
