The correction of high myopia.

There are welcome signs that the ophthalmic profession is at long last facing up to its responsibilities to those unfortunate enough to suffer from high myopia. At this time, it is my opinion that the safest and most effective option is the use of the ZB5M anterior chamber implant inserted into phakic eyes, the updated technique devised by Baikoff and Domilens. In the long term, the future probably lies with the use of corneal inlays using a high refractive index thermoplastic such as polysulfone.
