title: [Refractive state in patients with phacoemulsification of cataract in uncommon situations].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We undertook this study to determine the refractive state in patients who underwent non-complicated phacoemulsification under unusual situations.
  
  
  METHODS
  This was a clinical, open, transversal, prospective and comparative study. Patients had the following conditions: congenital cataracts, hyperopia, myopia, and emetropia with previous corneal transplantation or vitreous cavity filled with silicone oil.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thirty-six eyes were included in our study vs. control group (52 emetropic eyes). There was no statistical significance in spherical equivalent 6 weeks postoperatively, with 59% of patients within +1.00 D, 73% +2.00 D and 28% > +2.00 D.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Refractive state was favorable with an average of 0.96 D +/- 6.27.
