Abstract:

The article presents a clinical case of bilateral cataract surgery on megalocornea eyes of a 20-year-old male. The Haigis formula has demonstrated the greatest potential accuracy for IOL calculation in such eyes, while the use of other formulas was associated with a higher risk of significant hyperopic refractive error. An unusually high level of pseudoaccommodation was obtained in both eyes.

Keywords:

megalocornea

phacoemulsification

anterior chamber depth

ectopia lentis
