*corresponding author: [email protected] purpose: to compare the visual and anatomical outcomes and complications of two surgical methods in patients with pseudophakic / aphakic retinal detachment (pard) using propensity score analysis. methods: in this study, the propensity score matching was used as a new approach to control confounding factors. propensity score was calculated using the...

In Western Australia during the period 1 January 1976 to 31 December 1987 1089 eyes of 1044 patients in hospital were operated upon for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to causes other than penetrating trauma. Of these eyes 295 (27%) were aphakic or pseudophakic. During this period the annual number of cataract operations in the State increased by a factor of 245%, while aphakic an...

A study of 132 cases of aphakic retinal detachment (ARD) following mainly intracapsular cataract surgery has been made. Forty-nine cases (37%) were found to have vitreous incarcerated into the cataract section out of a total of 54 (41%) cases who had suffered a vitreous complication during cataract surgery. A study of the characteristics of ARD reveals that those cases having had a vitreous com...

A series of 54 non-myopic aphakic eyes with no signs of posterior vitreous detachment and 63 non-myopic aphakic eyes with various stages of posterior vitreous detachment was followed-up for a period of 6 months to 6 years. Over half of the eyes with no vitreous detachment when first examined developed various stages of posterior vitreous detachment during the follow-up period; in 10 eyes this w...

VITREOUS detachment is a constant accompaniment and thus a cardinal symptom of retinal detachment, the importance of which is being increasingly stressed by modern authors. It has been indicted as one of the causes of retinal detachment, its action being enhanced by vitreo-retinal adhesions, congenital or acquired. It is less known that all aphakic eyes show some degree of vitreous detachment, ...

In a consecutive series of 470 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment 25 (5%) were found to have shifting subretinal fluid (SRF) at the preoperative examination. The study showed that the association between SRF and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is unusual but not rare. Shifting SRF was most often associated with aphakic and longstanding retinal detachment, and found in cases in which t...
