Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Verisyse iris-claw intraocular lens implantation on correction of high myopia.Methods9 patients with highly myopic (18 eyes and diopter between-6.75 DS to-28.00 DS) were treated with Verisyse intraocular lens implantation. All the treated eyes were observed for uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, anterior segment changes and corneal endothelium preoperatively and postoperatively.ResultsThe implantation was successfully performed in all of 18 eyes. After 3 months, 11 eyes (61.1%) had the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) ≥0.5; 9 eyes (50.0%) had the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥0.8. UCVA and BCVA of every eye were significant improved ( P<0.01); the mean corneal astigmatism and mean intraocular pressure were not different from preoperation ( P>0.05). In all patients, one eye was oval and 2 other eyes showed decentered phakic IOL; 2 patients (2 eyes) complained of halo and glare; no severe complications occurred.ConclusionThe implantation of Verisyse iris-claw intraocular lens for the correction of high myopia has a significantly effect.
