Presumed photic retinopathy after cataract surgery: an angiographic study.
To ascertain the prevalence rate of presumed photic retinopathy after cataract surgery, 276 fluorescein angiograms of 147 patients were reviewed. The diagnosis was based on strict angiographic criteria. Lesions consistent with healed photic retinopathy were noted in four patients (prevalence rate of 3%). This finding is discussed and comparisons with the literature are made.
