Resumen
BORGES PEREZ, Sandra M.; ARIAS SALAS, Katia; BALLATE NODALES, Edith y MONTEAGUDO, Caridad. Extracapsular extraction of the transparent crytalline lens in patients with high myopia. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2003, vol.16, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.
64 eyes from 32 high myopia patients with more than -15 dioptres that underwent extracapsular surgery of the transparent crystalline lens were studied. A previous study of the retina was conducted and prophylactic treatment with cryo-photocoagulation was applied to the degenerative injuries generating retinal detachment. The use of Binkhorst's formula as a preoperative refractive prognosis proved to be very useful. The results obtained in most of the patients were satisfactory, since myopia was refractively reduced. There were transoperative and postoperative complications similar to those described in literature and all of them were adequately solved.
