Combined refractive lensectomy and laser in situ keratomileusis to correctextreme myopia

Refractive lensectomy followed by laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was performed in both eyes of a severely myopic patient. An uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 was achieved in the right eye with a manifest refraction oi piano -0.25 x 65, Intentional monovision correction of the left eye left a manifest refraction of -0.75 diopter. Best corrected visual acuity improve d by 1 Snellen line to 20/20 in both eyes, Follow-up evaluation will be req uired to assess the long-term refractive stability and the incidence of ret inal detachment after combined refractive lensectomy and LASIK.
