Modern Problems in Ophthalmology
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
The author reviews the characteristic differences in primary rhegmatogenous retina detachment occurring in phakic eyes and in aphakic eyes. The preoperative findings in aphakic detachment are explained on the basis of two factors: surgical trauma during cataract extraction and postoperative changes in the macromolecular compostion of the vitreous.
