在高度近视的眼睛中，25号软尖针头在空气-流体交换过程中无法完全去除液体，因为针头太短而无法到达细长球体的后部。在模拟示例中，我们发现标准软尖空心针不适合用于轴向长度大于31 mm的眼睛。其他25口径的仪器同样无法到达长眼睛的后部。
In highly myopic eyes, a 25-gauge soft-tip needle is unable to remove fluid completely during air-fluid exchange because the needle is too short to reach the back of the elongated globe. In the simulated example, we found that the standard soft-tip cannulated needle is unsuitable for use in eyes with axial lengths greater than 31 mm. Other 25-gauge instruments are similarly unable to reach the back of a long eye.
