【 摘 要 】

Introduction: High myopia is a risk factor for cataract formation. A relationship between myopia and higher complications in cataract surgeries has long been suggested.Materials and methods: After obtaining ethics committee clearance, this cross-sectional, case-control observational study was conducted in 100 participants of age above 18 years. They underwent cataract surgery. Participants were divided into two groups:- Group A & B - Participants with axial length between 21 and 26 mm and more than 26 mm respectively.Results and discussion: This shift of myopic individuals undergoing cataract surgery at an earlier age was found to be statistically significant. There was a statistically significant association between increasing age and PCR. Most common type of cataract in group A is cortical (30.8%) followed by nuclear (28.8%). Most common type of cataract in a group B is PSC (50%) followed by nuclear (22.9%). There was no statistical association between type of cataract and any complication.Conclusions: Intraoperative complications of cataract surgery do not increase significantly with increase in axial length. Myopic individuals are prone to develop cataracts earlier. NS and PSC type of cataracts are more common compared to cortical type of cataracts in emmetropic individuals.
