Pseudophakic Retinal Detachment After Phacoemulsification

  • Original Article
  • Published:
Annals of Ophthalmology

Abstract

The authors estimated the onset, incidence and treatment of pseudophakic retinal detachment after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in 11,098 consecutive patients over a 10-year period. About 40 eyes in 37 patients were diagnosed with pseudophakic retinal detachment (risk = 0.36%). Significant risk factors included: axial length > 25.0 mm, age < 65 years and intraoperative complications. The final best corrected visual acuity improved by 2 or more Snellen E lines in 52.5% of cases.
