[Consequences of vitreous loss during cataract extraction ].
An analysis of 1,959 cataract operations with intraoperative loss of vitreous body in 114 cases (5.8%) is described. The most common late complications (21% of all cases) were retinal detachments (7.9%) and secondary glaucomas (3.5%). As a consequence the authors call for regular follow-up examinations by an ophthalmologist.
