[Characteristics and prognosis of retinal detachment following uncomplicated extracapsular extraction of the crystalline lens].
In a retrospective study dealing with 52 eyes, we compare the features and prognosis of retinal detachment following intracapsular cataract extraction, non complicated extracapsular cataract extraction, extracapsular cataract extraction followed by YAG laser posterior capsulotomy, extracapsular cataract extraction complicated by peroperative rupture of the posterior capsule with phakic retinal detachment. Our results show several common features between retinal detachment after non complicated cataract extraction and phakic retinal detachment. Cataract extraction, no matter the technique, is not per se an anatomic or functional prognosis factor for a subsequent retinal detachment.
