Abstract:
Poor visual acuity after cataract surgery can be an indication of unsuspected exudative macular disease. A subtle, subretinal neovascular complex present before cataract surgery can hemorrhage during the intraocular procedure. Adequate preoperative photocoagulation and proper timing of intraocular surgery can preserve macular function.
