Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure with potential risks.
  • Retinal complications can arise during or after cataract surgery.
  • Effective management is key to visual recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review acute and late retinal complications following cataract surgery.

  • To emphasize the importance of timely intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of retinal complications associated with cataract surgery.
  • Analysis of acute and late-onset complications.
  • Discussion of established and emerging management protocols.

Main Results:

  • Identified acute complications: globe perforation, lens fragment dislocation, choroidal hemorrhage, endophthalmitis.
  • Identified late complications: retinal detachment, cystoid macular edema, diabetic retinopathy exacerbation.
  • Highlighted the critical role of prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Cataract surgery carries risks of significant retinal complications.
  • Timely and appropriate management strategies are essential for optimal visual outcomes.
  • This review provides an overview of complications and their treatment.
