    Summary

    This study shows microsurgery with intra-operative fundus control successfully reattaches aphakic retinal detachments in 82% of cases. Many patients regained pre-detachment vision, highlighting effective surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Aphakic retinal detachment presents a significant challenge in ophthalmic surgery.
    • Microsurgical techniques are continuously evolving to improve patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of microsurgery combined with intra-operative biomicroscopic control for aphakic retinal detachments.
    • To assess the rates of retinal reattachment and visual acuity recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • A consecutive series of 73 aphakic retinal detachments underwent microsurgery.
    • Intra-operative biomicroscopic control of the ocular fundus was utilized during surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Retinal reattachment was achieved in 60 cases (82%), with 59 eyes requiring only one operation.
    • Visual acuity of 0.5 or better was achieved in 50% of all cases and 57% of those without prior surgical failure.
    • 69% of eyes recovered their pre-detachment visual acuity.

    Conclusions:

    • Microsurgery with intra-operative fundus control is a highly effective treatment for aphakic retinal detachment.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate for reattachment and visual recovery, with minimal macular complications.
