[Peripheral retinal lesions in aphakia].
The peripheral retina of 150 aphakic eyes with uncomplicated extraction was studied with the Goldmann three-mirror contact lens. The patients were examined 1 month to more than 2 years after cataract extraction. In addition to degenerations which are descirbed everywhere and are seen both in phakic and aphakic eyes, the authoris have emphasized lesions which they consider to be specific of aphakia. These lesions are retinal haemorrhages of wich four types are described; pigmentary anomalies and retinal tears and holes. Taking into consideration the great frequency of aphakic retinal detachment in comparison with phakic detachment, it is evident that such lesions must be held liable in aphakic retinal detachment.
