Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2023, Vol 38, Issue 12
Abstract
It is reported in this article that a 40-year-old female patient presented with "progressive blurred vision of both eyes for 3 months". The patient underwent bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) because of high myopia in 2005. It was recorded that her best corrected visual acuity was 0.2 (–11.00 DS/ –1.25 DC×170°) in the right eye and 0.7 (–4.00 DS/ –0.75 DC×25°) in the left, and clear cornea, normal anterior chamber, cloudy lens, tessellated fundus with posterior staphyloma in both eyes. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral complicated cataract. Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (IOL, +14.0 diopter (D)) implantation was performed on the right eye, with the target –0.5D refractive diopter. One week after surgery, it was recorded that the uncorrected visual acuity of the right eye was 0.3, and the best corrected visual acuity was 0.7 (+2.75 DS). IOL replacement of the right eye was performed two weeks after surgery, the +14.0 D IOL was replaced by +17.0 D IOL. One week after surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity of the right eye was 0.8 (–0.75 DC×15°).
