ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To attain adequate intraocular lens power during cataract surgery in patients with high myopia or hyperopia, the implantation of two intraocular lenses by the piggy-back method are being widely attempted. Therefore, we report the clinical results of implantation of two intraocular lenses by the piggy-back method. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We illustrate a case of a 62-year old high myopic patient with cataract who received lens insertion of -5.0 diopter and -4.0 diopter piggy-back style in the capsular bag. Also, we illustrate a case of a 7-year old female with congenital cataract who received lens insertion in the capsular bag of +18.0 diopter and +17.0 diopter in the right eye and +17.0 diopter and +16.0 diopter in the left eye.RESULTS:
Postoperative findings at 2 months showed well positioning of both lenses without noticeable complications.
