When parallel light rays are focused in front of the retina after passing through the refractive system of the eye in a relaxed state of adjustment, it is called myopia. Myopia is also called short-sightedness because this eye can only see near and not far. In general, myopia only affects a person’s vision that cannot be seen at a distance, but if high myopia also has other complications, and if it is complicated by cataracts, it may require surgery.

Generally, it is ultrasonic cataract extraction combined with folding IOL implantation. The cost differs according to the IOL selected, and the price of multifocal IOL is higher than that of monofocal IOL. The price of multifocal IOLs is higher than that of monofocal IOLs. There is a slight difference in the cost of surgery between tertiary and local hospitals.
