Abstract

Purpose. To evaluate the features of the phacoemulsification technique with IOL implantation and clinical and functional results in patients with extreme eyeball length. Material and methods. There were 2 patients under observation: a 70-year-old patient with a diagnosis of OU: Complicated cataract. High myopia. Amblyopia moderate. Primary open-angle glaucoma 2A. Visual acuity at admission vis OD = 0.001 n.c.; vis OS = 0.04 sph +2.00 D cyl –2.50 D ax 105° = 0.1. The second patient, aged 65, was diagnosed with OU: Complicated cataract. Hyperopia of a high degree. Amblyopia moderate. Primary open-angle glaucoma 1A, operated. Visual acuity at admission OD = 0.01 sph +11.00 D cyl +1.50 D ax 110° = 0.2; OS = 0.01 sph +11.00 D cyl +1.00 D ax 105 = 0.1. Both patients underwent phacoemulsification with Asphina IOL implantation (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany): the right eye of patient N 1 and the left eye of patient N 2. Results. A month after the operation, the uncorrected visual acuity in the first patient was Vis OD = 0.15. In the second patient, a month after the operation, visual acuity was Vis OS = 0.04 sph (+) 11.0 D = 0.2. Both patients are subjectively satisfied with the obtained visual functions. Conclusion. Thus, this clinical case demonstrates a very successful implementation of cataract phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in patients with extreme eyeball length. Keywords: microphthalmos, high myopia, high degree ametropia, complicated cataract, cataract phacoemulsification.
