Analysis of factors influencing postoperative refractive status in patients with high myopia undergoing combined surgery for vitreous opacity and cataract

Key Points

• The study aims to identify factors influencing refractive outcomes after combined surgery for high myopia.
• Analyzed postoperative refractive status in patients undergoing combined surgery for cataracts and vitreous opacities.
• Measured preoperative and postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) refraction and targeted reserved degree.
• Assessed correlations between refractive deviation, age, and anterior chamber depth (ACD).
• Achieved a mean deviation of less than 0.5 D between reserved refraction and target refraction.
• Significant correlation found between refractive deviation and both preoperative and postoperative SE.
• Refractive deviation shows a positive correlation with age and a negative correlation with ACD.
• Posterior cystectomy identified as a possible factor in minimizing refractive deviation.
