Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated the results in 90 eyes that had a minuspower anterior chamber intraocular lens implanted to correct high myopia. Preoperative myopia ranged from -7.00 to -24.00 D. Postoperative spherical equivalent was -0.50 D; 80.5% of eyes were within 1.00 D of emmetropia. Two years postoperatively, no cataract formation, retinal detachment, glaucoma, or significant endothelial damage had occurred. We conclude that minus-power lenses can rapidly, safely, and predictably correct high myopia in phakic patients.
