This document discusses considerations for phacoemulsification cataract surgery in myopic eyes. Key points addressed include: - Myopic eyes have a thinner sclera and weaker zonules, requiring special care during surgery like using clear corneal incisions and suturing if needed. - The anterior chamber is deeper in myopic eyes, making instrumentation more difficult and increasing risks like iris stretching and reverse pupillary block. - Careful preoperative evaluation of the fundus is important to assess for macular pathology, retinal breaks, or high myopia that could impact outcomes. - Intraocular lens power calculation and choice is more complex in myopic eyes to aim for residual myopia and account for axial length
