Objective@#To present the refractive and visual outcomes of refractive surgical treatment options in high myopia. @*Methods@#This was a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with high myopia (manifest refractive spherical equivalent [MRSE] ≥-6.00D) who underwent one of the following procedures laser-in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), phakic IOL implantation with the Staar Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), or Alcon Cachet Phakic IOL.
