[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. CONCLUSION: 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.
