Pathological Myopia and Cataract: Treatment Strategies and Current Approaches

High myopia is a growing eye health problem in the modern era and carries an increased risk of ocular comorbidity. Contact lens use, refractive surgery, phakic intraocular lenses, retinal problems, and a history of retinal surgery are more common in eyes with high myopia. The anatomical differences in high myopic eyes and surgical interventions performed on the eye make cataract surgery different from the normal eyes. Lens power calculation and intraocular lens selection are different in myopic eyes, and potential retinal pathologies require long-term follow-up. Patients should be thoroughly informed about refractive surprises and complications.
