  Purpose

In this study, the investigators examined the capsule-IOL interaction including anterior and posterior capsule adhesion, contact between posterior capsule and the posterior edge of intraocular lense (IOL), configuration of capsular bend and the incidence of posterior capsular opacity (PCO) between high myopia eyes and emmetropia eyes.

Study Start Date: April 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: February 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: February 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
high myopia
high myopia (axial length>26mm)
emmetropia
emmetropia (22<axial length<25mm) as control group.

Detailed Description:

Forty eyes of 40 cataract patients scheduled for phacoemulsification surgery were recruited, of which 20 eyes were high myopia (AL > 26mm) and 20 eyes were emmetropia (22 < AL < 25mm) as control group.

Methods: All eyes were examined by custom-built UL-OCT at 4 hours, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days after surgery.

Main Outcome Measures: Contact of the anterior and posterior lens capsule with the IOL optic surface was evaluated. Types of capsular bend were described at the last follow-up. The incidence of posterior capsular opacity (PCO) was evaluated.

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population

This prospective study consisted consecutive patients with high axial myopia (myopia group) and age-matched patients with normal axial length (control group). All eyes underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification with a single-piece IOL (AcrySof, Alcon) implantation for cataract treatment.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Eyes with an AL of 26.00mm or more were recruited to the high myopia group.
  • Eyes with an AL of 22.00 to 25.00 mm were recruited to the emmetropia group.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Preoperative exclusion criteria included diabetes, history of ocular surgery or inflammation, pupils could not be dilated over 7mm after mydriasis,
  • patients who could not be available for follow-up.
