Abstract

Since cataract surgery is the most common intraocular procedure, it also is the most common risk factor for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. It has been realized that 20-40% of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments occur in eyes that have undergone cataract extraction. The risk of pseudophakic retinal detachment can be increased in myopic patients, in those patients in whom vitreous loss had occurred at the time of cataract surgery, and in patients undergoing Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. This review mentions about the risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical and management of pseudophakic retinal detachment.
