Cataract surgery in adult eyes with short axial length

Newer 4 th generation IOL formulas have improved the refractive outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with short AL. There are multiple evolving surgical strategies for optimizing surgery in these eyes. However, studies on the surgical and visual outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with short AL are limited by their design and sample size. With further research and continued clinical experiences, we hope to develop evidence-based algorithms for the management of these complex cases.
