About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term visual outcome of the cataract surgery using a large-scale and comprehensive database of high myopic cataract and age-related cataract patients. The investigators will further investigate into the various genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to the pathogenesis of high myopic cataract.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Differences in the clinical phenotypes and visual outcomes of high myopic cataract patients
Cataract type and severity of high myopic cataract patients are evaluated using LOCSIII grading system. Visual outcomes are also evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, intraocular pressure, fundus function, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.
Differences in the clinical phenotypes and visual outcomes of age-related cataract patients
Cataract type and severity of age-related cataract patients are evaluated using LOCSIII grading system. Visual outcomes are also evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, intraocular pressure, fundus function, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.
Differences in the clinical phenotypes and visual outcomes of ametropic cataract patients
Cataract type and severity of ametropic cataract patients are evaluated using LOCSIII grading system. Visual outcomes are also evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, intraocular pressure, fundus function, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.
Secondary outcomes
Genetic diversity based on biological specimen samples of three groups
Sequencing of selected genes (including exons, promoters, 5' UTR and 3' UTR sequences) on a large scale to intensively investigate into the sites and functions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) correlated with clinical features of HMC, compared to age-related cataract and ametropic cataract patients.
Other outcomes
Difference in the surgical procedure of three groups
To compare the difference in the surgical procedure of three groups.
Difference in the Diagnostic test of three groups
To compare the difference in the diagnostic test of three groups.
Difference in the complications of the cataract surgery of three groups
To compare the prevalence of complications of the cataract surgery in HMC,ARC and ametropic cataract patients.
