Kanski’s Clinical Ophthalmology, eighth edition

Abstract

This chapter approaches retinal complications, in particular retinal detachment after lens surgery in high myopic patients. The incidence of retinal detachment in high myopic patients corrected by intraocular surgery is reported based on the experience of the authors and on a review of published reports. The cumulative risk of retinal detachment development in high myopic patients after intraocular refractive surgical procedures (whether lens exchange or phakic intraocular lenses) is reported. Various options for the treatment of retinal detachment in high myopic patients after ocular refractive surgery are outlined.
