Comparison of Refractive Outcomes in Patients with Highly Myopic Versus Non-highly Myopic Eyes Undergoing Phacovitrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Combined phacovitrectomy is gaining popularity due to efficiency and immediate visual improvement. However, concerns regarding erroneous intraocular lens (IOL) calculation in combination surgery are increasing, such as myopic shift owing to a thick macula and consequent underestimation of the axial length. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the refractive outcomes of combined phacovitrectomy in patients with highly myopic and non-highly myopic eyes.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who received combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and small gauge pars plana vitrectomy for cataract and macular pathologies in highly myopic and non-highly myopic eyes. Pre- and postoperative evaluation and ocular parameters w
