Low power intraocular lenses

J Am Intraocul Implant Soc. 1983 Summer;9(3):321-3. doi: 10.1016/s0146-2776(83)80065-2.

Abstract

We believe that implantation of low diopter power IOLs in eyes with myopia carries no apparent increased risks when the usual precautions concerning cataract surgery with implantation are observed. Axial length measurements are mandatory to choose appropriate lens power. The visual results are excellent and aniseikonia is minimized with lens implantation. Patients are satisfied with the functional results of their postoperative vision.
