Purpose. To study the retinal and vitreous body status in the central and peripheral compartments of the eye fundus and to evaluate the vitreoretinal interface dynamics followed phacoemulsification in patients with high and extremely high myopia. Material and methods. 73 patients (85 eyes) with high and extremely high myopia whom cataract phacoemulsification was performed, underwent the complete ophthalmic examination including ultrasound biomicroscopy of the peripheral retina, ultrasound B-scanning of the vitreous body, optical coherence tomography of the central retinal zone preoperatively, in the first postoperative days, in 1 and 6 months. Results. Within the postoperative follow-up, we observed the increase in the altitude of the posterior hyaloid detachment and fluctuation amplitude of the detached vitreous body, progression of the acoustic alterations of the peripheral retina and OCT-alterations of the central retinal zone that became statistically significant by the 6th month of the follow-up. Conclusion. Owing to the use of such highly informative methods of diagnosis as UBM and OCT we manage to receive the complete information about the status of vitreoretinal interface in the eyes with high and extremely high myopia followed cataract surgery.
