Intraocular lens(IOL)refractive prediction of cataract surgery in high myopes is more inaccuracy compared to that of the routine cataract surgery. It is particularly important that how to measure biology accurately and choose the correct intraocular lens calculation formula. We summarized and analyzed postoperative refractive prediction deviation, the constants in the formula application and ocular axial length adjusting method in high myopia cataract surgery. In this review, lens diopter prediction standard formula(Holladay 1, SRK / T, Hoffer Q and Haigis)and the fourth generation of lens formula were contrasted, which could provide valuable reference for clinical applications.
