Özet

We evaluated the results of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in 414 eyes with long axial length and classified them according to axial length (AL): Group A: AL 25-28 mm, Group B: AL >28 mm. lntraoperative maneuvers, pre- and postoperative photocoagulation for predisposing retinal lesions and retinal detachment rates were significantly higher in Group B than Group A. Eyes with an axial length over 28 mm are prone to more problems when compared to those with an axial length between 25 and 28 mm.
