[Retinal detachment following extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation].
Among 866 patients who had undergone extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with implantation of a posterior chamber lens (Simcoe type), 4 cases of retinal detachment were found 1 to 3 years after an uneventful operation. This retinal detachment rate of 0.5% is significantly lower than the rate of 3.5% after intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE).
