Title: Observation on the effect of phacoemulsification for super-long axial length of high myopia with cataract
Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of phacoemulsification for super-long axial length of high myopia with cataract.Methods 37 cases(50 eyes)of super-long axial length of high myopia with cataract were treated with phacoemulsification.In the operation,cataract nucleus was water separated through clear corneal incision,the lens nucleus was pulled out to iris face and chopped,and then the cataract nucleus was emulsified with 45-50% energy and 80-100mmhg negative pressure;polished posterior capsular.Postoperative visual acuity,postoperative reaction,complications and situation of medication were observed.Results The corrected visual acuity≥0.5 was in 25 eyes(50%)at two days after operation;the corrected visual acuity over 0.05 was in 45 eyes(90%)in one month after operation,corneal edema in 5 eyes(10%)and posterior capsule opacification in 6 eyes(12%).Conclusion The out of blindness rate is 90% after phacoemulsification for super-long axial length of high myopia with cataract;the incidence of comeal edema is lower,can obtain good surgical effect.The poor vision is related to fundus diseases,strabismus and amblyopia.
