Abstract: Patients with high myopia face more problems in choosing the type of intraocular lens (IOL) for cataract surgery and setting the target refractive error due to the special anatomical structure and pathological changes of the eye and the need to consider binocular balance. Extended depth of focus IOL (EDOF IOL) can provide patients with good vision at intermediate and near distances while ensuring distance vision, and greatly reduce the optical quality problems and visual interference associated with multifocal IOL, as well as improve binocular near vision with the use of binocular minimonovision. In the future, the combination of precise refractive reserve and personalized design can further improve the corrective effect of non-diffractive EDOF IOL, making it promising for the correction of cataract combined with high myopia patients.
