Intraocular correction in microcornea (clinical case)

Cataract surgery in eyes with microcornea is a complicated task for the operating surgeon due to issues related to the choice of surgical technique, features of visualization of intraocular structures due to a flattened and decreased cornea in diameter, decision-making on the choice and intraocular lens (IOL) calculations, as well as the final postoperative rehabilitation. Due to the anatomical features, these eyes have a high incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, and as a result, require a thorough preoperative examination. The article presents a clinical case of individual calculation of the optical power of the intraocular lens during cataract phacoemulsification in a patient with congenital microcornea, high degree hyperopia.
