[Retinal detachment after intraocular lens implantation].
OBJECTIVE
To study the specificity of retinal detachment after intraocular lens implantation.


METHODS
The specialty of this type of retinal detachment through the clinical observation of 44 eyes of 42 cases from 1991 to 1996 was analyzed.


RESULTS
The retinal detachment after intraocular lens implantation is more severe than others. It is more difficult to find a hole or holes because posterior capsular opacification and the implanted intraocular lens interfere with the careful search. The retinal detachment may develop into a complicated one. Its cure rate was 80.0% in the immediate postoperative period.


CONCLUSIONS
The retinal injury during intraocular lens implantation should be avoided. As the retinal detachment occurs after the implantation, a more careful search and a earlier scleral buckling or/and vitrectomy should be done.
