Clinical efficacy of phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens implantation for treatment of high myopia with cataract: A protocol of systematic review

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy of phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens implantation (PILI) for the treatment of high myopia with cataract (HMC). METHODS: In this study, the electronic databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, AMED, CINAHL, PsychINFO, CBM, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) will be searched from inception to present. All randomized controlled trials on assessing the PILI for patients with HMC will be included. Two authors will carry out study selection, information extraction, and study quality assessment, respectively. We will invite another author to solve any disagreement through discussion. RevMan 5.3 software will be performed for data synthesis and analysis. RESULTS: This study will present a detailed synthesis and/or descriptive analysis of the most recent evidence to evaluate the efficacy of PILI for HMC. CONCLUSION: The results of this study may provide possible guidance to determine whether or not PILI is effective on HMC.
