摘要

· AIM: To assess the refractive outcome of clear lensectomy combined with piggyback intraocular lens implantation in highly hyperopic patients. ·METHODS: This case review included 19 eyes of 10 patients with high hyperopia and axial length less than 21mm. Intraocular lens power was calculated for emmetropia using the Holladay II formula in 17 eyes, and SRK/T formula in 2 eyes following clear lens extraction and piggyback intraocular lens implantation. Patients were examined periodically over 24 months for visual acuity and spherical equivalent (SE). ·RESULTS: The mean postoperative SE at 24 months was 0.20 ±1.39D (range, -3.00 to 2.50D), better than preoperative 9.81 ±2.62D (range, +6.00 to +14.50D) ( 【 0.001). Five eyes had SE within ±0.5D of emmetropia and 11 eyes within ±1.00D at postoperative 24 months. The mean postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) at 24 months was 0.60 ±0.36, significantly improved compared to preoperative 1.39±0.33 ( 【0.001). The mean best -corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 24 months was 0.49 ±0.35, not statistically different compared to preoperative 0.38±0.30 ( =0.34). Twelve eyes maintained and 1 gained 1 or more Snellen line of BCVA, 4 eyes lost 1 line, and 2 eyes lost 2 lines at 24 postoperative months. Twelve eyes best -corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA) achieved J1 at postoperative 24 months compared to preoperative 7 eyes and the other 7 eyes better than J3. ·CONCLUSION:Clearlensextractioncombinedpiggyback intraocular lens implantation appears to be an effective procedure to correct high hyperopia but mild overcorrection and intralenticular opacification may require secondary procedure.
