ABSTRACT

Hypermetropia is the most common refractive disorder in our country. Finding the best procedure to correct this defect is a serious problem for the ophthalmologist and the patient, especially those with severe defects. The case of a 45-year-old patient with a history of high hypermetropia in both eyes is presented. He is an agricultural worker who had serious difficulties adapting to the lenses as they were too heavy and caused him blurry vision, leading to their frequent change. After analyzing the different ways to correct his defect, it was decided to implant two (piggyback) intraocular lenses, which resulted in increased visual acuity and elimination of the refractive disorder without occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. High hypermetropia is uncommon in hypermetropic patients, thus this technique is not frequently used in our setting, which lead to the presentation of this case.
