Success Rate of Phacoemulsification for Cataract in Patients with High-Degree Myopia in National Eye Center Cicendo Eye Hospital Bandung, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Phacoemulsification is one of the procedures performed in cataract with high-degree myopia patients. Patients with high-degree myopia have a higher risk for postoperative complications due to phacoemulsification which affects their visual acuity. These patients also have higher manifest refraction compared to cataract without high-degree myopia. This study aims to evaluate the success rate of phacoemulsification for cataract in patients with high-degree myopia in National Eye Center, Cicendo Eye Hospital Bandung, Indonesia.
