[Reliability of electrophysiologic examinations for cataract surgery in cases of suspected retinal detachment]

Justification for cataract surgery obviously depends on retinal efficiency. The study of light projections makes it sometimes possible to suspect a retinal detachment. We are, therefore, trying to check for retinal detachment by means of the various exploration processes now available. Results of echography, electroretinography, electro-oculography, and visual evoked potentials are discussed according to the exper-ence gained.
