Abstract

Refractive cataract surgery has evolved considerably in recent years owing to the rapid development in precise ocular biometry, surgical technique and instrumentation, and various astigmatism-correcting and multifocal intraocular lenses. However, inherent defects of these premium intraocular lenses should not be underestimated and neither should imperfections of measuring devices. Cataract surgery complications such as posterior capsular opacification and dry eye, which were originally infrequent or minor, are becoming increasingly prominent. Surgeons must properly understand and conduct refractive cataract surgery and there is still a long way to go before perfection.

伴随着眼精准生物测量技术以及白内障摘除手术设备和技术的快速发展、散光矫正和各类多焦点人工晶状体的进步,屈光性白内障手术近年来得到了很大发展。但屈光性人工晶状体自身固有的缺陷也不容小觑,目前检查设备并不完美,作为白内障摘除手术少见或者轻微的并发症,如后发性白内障、干眼等问题也不断凸显出来。眼科医师必须正确理解和践行屈光性白内障手术,这条道路仍任重而道远。.
