To determine the long term visual and refractive results, and stability and complications of primary polypseudophakia using poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataract surgery in hypermetropic eyes.

Prospective study of 15 short or hypermetropic eyes undergoing phacoemulsification with primary polypseudophakia with two PMMA IOLs implanted within the capsular bag.

The spherical equivalent was reduced from a mean +4.87 (SD 3.00) dioptres (D) to −0.12 (1.40 D), and the deviation from the intended refraction was +0.005 (1.30) D, 23.6 (12.36) months post-implantation. The deviation from intended refraction was not statistically significant (p = 0.989; paired t test). Postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/12 or better in all eyes without macular or optic nerve co-morbidity. Interlenticular opacification (ILO) in the form of peripheral Elschnig …
