[Retinal detachment in pseudophakia].
Retinal detachment in an aphakic eye is a grave therapeutical problem. There exists some fears that cataract extraction with implantation of an artificial lens may increase the number of these complications. Three hundred and seventy cases of cataract extraction with implantation of an artificial lens performed in our department were analysed from the point of view of the incidence of retinal detachment. The cataract was extracted extra- and intracapsularly and the artificial lens was implanted in the anterior as well as in the posterior chamber. During the period of observation--4 months to 3 years--it was established that the number of the retinal detachment in pseudophakia was not larger than in aphakic eyes without implant.
