Retinal detachment and pseudophakia.

H L Tanenbaum

    Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology. Journal Canadien D'Ophtalmologie
    |October 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Retinal detachment occurs in pseudophakic patients, with intraocular lenses complicating visualization. Careful patient selection and fundus examination are key to reducing incidence.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Retinal detachments are a known complication following cataract surgery.
    • Pseudophakic patients, those with an intraocular lens, present unique challenges for fundus examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and management of retinal detachments in pseudophakic patients.
    • To identify factors contributing to pseudophakic retinal detachments and suggest preventative measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of fifteen cases of pseudophakic retinal detachment.
    • Discussion of diagnostic challenges posed by intraocular lenses.
    • Analysis of surgical outcomes compared to aphakic detachments.

    Main Results:

    • Retinal detachments occur in up to 3.6% of pseudophakic patients.

  • Functional and anatomic success rates are approximately 5% lower than in matched aphakic patients.
  • Small pupil ophthalmoscopy aids peripheral fundus visualization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Avoiding lens-cornea contact during procedures is crucial.
    • Pre- and post-operative fundus examination and careful patient selection for lens implantation are essential for prevention.
