Abstract:AIM:To discuss the characteristic of cataract surgery with intraocular lens(IOL) implantation after corneal laser refractive surgery. METHODS:This retrospective study included 4 eyes of 4 cases who had previously undergone myopic corneal laser refractive surgery and subsequently phacoemulsifi-cation with implantation of IOL. Based on the data cases provided,clinical history method(CHM) or adjusted keratometry method were used to calculate the kerato-metry and IOL power. Corneal conditions,surgical com-plications,uncorrected visual acuity,best corrected visual acuity,postoperative refractive status,etc were observed during the follow-up.RESULTS:The best corrected visual acuity postopera-tively increased obviously. The error between postopera-tive refraction and predicted refraction preoperatively ranged from -1.00D to +1.25D. CONCLUSION:Cataract surgery with IOL implantation after corneal laser refractive surgery is feasible. The characteristics and calculation methods of IOL must be mastered.
