Clear lens extraction for correction of high myopia is a concept known since at least 1800, but was performed only occasionally because of the hazards of cataract operation in general in the era before aseptic surgery. After the invention of sterilization, in 1889 a rush for myopia correction by clear lens extraction was started by Fukala in Austria/Germany and Vacher in France. It took 10 years until a retrospective comparison of operated and non-operated eyes revealed the high complication rate after clear lens extraction. After 1900, the "myopia operation" was increasingly abandoned and eventually disappeared.
通过摘除透明晶状体来矫正高度近视这一概念至少从1800年起就已为人所知，但由于在无菌手术时代之前，白内障手术总体存在风险，所以这种手术只是偶尔进行。1889年消毒法发明后，奥地利/德国的福卡拉和法国的瓦谢开始竞相采用摘除透明晶状体的方法来矫正近视。直到10年后，对手术眼和未手术眼进行回顾性比较才发现，摘除透明晶状体后并发症发生率很高。1900年以后，“近视手术”越来越被摒弃，最终消失了。
