To evaluate results of clear lens extraction for treatment of anisometropia in patients with bilateral high myopia and unilateral cataract. 23 patients with bilateral high myopia who underwent clear lens extraction with PC IOL implantation to treat high anisometropia after cataract surgery in the other eye were observed in our study. Preoperative refractive error was from -8.0 D to -19.0 D (spherical equivalent). Anisometropia after operations in both eyes was from 0.0 D to 3.5 D. No serious complications after operations such as retinal detachment were observed. Clear lens extraction with PC IOL implantation in highly myopic eyes can be used for correction of high anisometropia after cataract surgery in the other eye.
