Clinical aspects of aphakic retinal detachment

ABSTRACT

Aphakic retinal detachment occurred most frequently in the first year following cataract extraction and more common among old males than females. Vitreous complications during cataract extraction was a predisposing factor with higher incidence of PVR when the detachment occurred. The retina was totally detached with macular involvement in most of the cases. There was higher incidence of temporal retinal breaks than that of nasal breaks
