TL;DR
Clear lens extraction was effective in correcting severe myopia; however, longer follow‐up of a large number of cases is needed to fully assess possible complications.

OphthalmologyResults of the Prospective Evaluation of Radial Keratotomy (PERK) Study One Year After Surgery
285 Citations1985George O. Waring, Michael Lynn +107 more
The Prospective Evaluation of Radial Keratotomy (PERK) study is a nine-center, self-controlled clinical trial of a standardized technique of radial keratotomy in 435 patients who had physiologic myopia with a preoperative refraction between -2.00 and -8.00 diopters.
American Journal of OphthalmologyExcimer Laser Intrastromal Keratomileusis
168 Citations1992Lucio Buratto, Paolo Rama
The technique demonstrated a marked refractive reduction and an excellent corneal response to photoablation, and the relationship between the number of laser pulses and the refractive correction achieved was examined.
OphthalmologyThe Incidence of Retinal Detachment Following Extracapsular Cataract Extraction
167 Citations1985Patrick Coonan, Wayne E. Fung +3 more
A long-term prospective study was conducted to evaluate the incidence of specific complications following extracapsular cataract extraction and a positive correlation between this time interval and patient age was established.
Archives of OphthalmologyIncidence of Retinal Detachment Following Clear-Lens Extraction in Myopic Patients
137 Citations1994C Barraquer
A clear association was found between postoperative YAG laser/surgical posterior capsulotomy and the incidence of retinal detachment but no association between intraoperative rupture of the posterior capsule and the ultimate incidence ofretinal detachment was found.
OphthalmologyClear Lensectomy and Implantation of Low-power Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens for the Correction of High Myopia
109 Citations1994Joseph Colin, Anne Robinet
Complications reported previously with clear lensectomy were not experienced in this group, and the low incidence of complications can be attributed to the short follow-up and probably in part to the prophylactic retinal treatment, combined with the phacoemulsification procedure for lens extraction.
American Journal of OphthalmologyThe Nationwide Study of Epikeratophakia for Myopia
98 Citations1987Marguerite B. McDonald, Herbert E. Kaufman +7 more
In the nationwide study of epikeratophakia, 116 ophthalmic surgeons performed 352 procedures for the correction of myopia; 256 of the eyes had 30 or more days of follow-up after suture removal, and 202 had postoperative best corrected visual acuity within two Snellen lines or better of their preoperativeVisual acuity.
OphthalmologyClear Lens Extraction for Axial Myopia
98 Citations1987Morton F. Goldberg
It would appear that the possible optical benefits of clear lens extraction in axial myopia are usually outweighed by the severity of the risks and by the availability of safer alternatives.
Journal of Refractive SurgeryThe Surgical Treatment of High Myopia: Comparison of Epikeratoplasty, Keratomileusis and Minus Power Anterior Chamber Lenses
84 Citations1990Joseph Colin, F Mimouni +3 more
Seventy high myopic eyes with epikeratoplasty, myopic non-freeze keratomileusis or minus power anterior chamber intraocular lenses in phakic eyes were operated by two surgeons and were evaluated retrospectively, reporting results at the 6-month postoperative interval.
Archives of OphthalmologyComplications of Clear Lens Extraction in Axial Myopia
46 Citations1987Alfredo Amigó Rodríguez, Elva I. Cortés‐Gutiérrez +1 more
Clear lens extraction appears to be contraindicated in the young, in those with axial diameters greater than 29 mm, and in those presenting with peripheral chorioretinal degeneration, and the use of safer, noninvasive, reversible alternatives is suggested.
British Journal of OphthalmologyMyopia-aphakia. II. Vitreous and peripheral retina.
38 Citations1975S W Hyams, E. Neumann +1 more
The high prevalence of retinal breaks in aphakic eyes with high myopia is compatible with the high incidence ofretinal detachment in such eyes.

32 Citations1994Kimiya Shimizu, Shiro Amano +1 more
In 95 eyes, uncorrected visual acuity improved and best-corrected acuity remained unchanged, and in eyes with myopia of more than -3.0 diopters, the postoperative refraction was within -1.0 D of attempted correction.

Journal of Refractive SurgeryPhotorefractive Keratectomy for Myopia of More Than -10 Diopters
30 Citations1994Ohristopher M Rogers, Michael Lawless +1 more
Twenty-seven consecutive eyes of 18 patients with myopia of more than -10.00 diopters were treated by photorefractive keratectomy using the ExciMed UV200LA excimer laser and a double ablation technique in an attempt to achieve a refraction of plano.
OphthalmologyFive Years' Follow-Up in the Surgical Management of Cataracts in High Myopia Treated with the Kelman Phacoemulsification Technique
27 Citations1979Donald L. Praeger
With the advent of phacoemulsification, much interest has again been rekindled in extracapsular cataract surgery and its effects on the vitreoretinopathy associated in high myopia.
Microsurgery of Retinal Detachment
8 Citations1989M Bonnet
It is necessary to select patients suitable for vaginal or laparoscopic mesh placement for Retinal Detachment on the basis of prior history, prior to and after surgery, and on the day of surgery for other reasons.
