Brief Summary:
Age-related cataract remains the leading cause of blindness in developing countries. And, with the aging of the population in these countries, the number of cataract patients will continue to grow. With accurate biological measurements and the implantation of appropriate IOLs, most cataract patients can achieve good distance vision after surgery. However, it should not be overlooked that the current global prevalence of myopia is over 28.3% and is expected to reach 49.8% by 2050, while the rate of high myopia will increase from the current 4.0% to 9.8%. The prevalence of cataracts is significantly higher in the highly myopic population than in the orthoptic population.
The pupil is an important factor to be evaluated during the selection of an artificial lens (Intraocular lens, IOL), especially a functional IOL. It has been shown that the diameter and sensitivity of the pupil in patients with high myopia are also significantly different from those in the orthopneic population, and that there is a correlation with the adjustment status and refractive error. The purpose of this study is to investigate the following: 1. Whether the change of refractive status before and after IOL implantation in highly myopic cataract patients will lead to the change of pupil physiological characteristics, and whether the modification of preoperative measurement parameters can expand the population of myopic patients who can be reasonably applied to the functional IOL and obtain a high degree of satisfaction from patients. 2. Pupil diameter under a single fixed light source is a rough assessment for the screening of the population for functional IOLs, and this study was conducted in a single fixed light source. In this study, we measured the maximum value of pupil diameter, minimum value of pupil diameter, and rate of change of pupil diameter under bright vision and dark vision, and analyzed the correlation between the above three parameters and visual quality to further optimize the objective index of pupil diameter for the screening of functional IOL applicants.
Objectives of the study
1. To observe the dynamic changes of pupil diameter and its visual quality before and after lens extraction combined with IOL implantation in myopic patients, and to analyze the correlation between the changes of pupil diameter and visual quality;
2. To explore the patterns of refractive error and pupil biometric changes in myopic patients before and after IOL implantation, and to make corrections for the evaluation of preoperative biometric indexes for reference.
