“…Patients with RP are also at increased risk for intra- and postoperative complications, including intraoperative phototoxic damage to the retina, (increase in existing) CM and zonular dialysis, among others [ 34 , 173 , 174 , 175 , 176 , 177 ]. Furthermore, higher rates of posterior capsular opacification and anterior capsule phimosis have been described following cataract surgery in patients with RP, which may also negatively influence visual outcomes if left untreated [ 178 ]. Despite the challenges regarding cataract surgery in RP, several studies have demonstrated its benefit, showing average BCVA improvements between studies ( Table 1 ) [ 105 , 162 , 178 , 179 , 180 , 181 , 182 , 183 , 184 , 185 , 186 ].…”
