“…Various authors have insisted upon the pro tection against PPRD afforded by an intact posterior capsule [2][3][4][5][6], However, this protec tion is not absolute [3,7,8] as confirmed by our 35 PPRD cases without any capsular break. As many as 53 of our 165 cases had sustained complications related to cataract sur gery, and the relationship between vitreous loss and subsequent RD is well documented [3,7,[9][10][11].…”

We reviewed 165 cases of non-referred pseudophakic retinal detachment. Fifty-three eyes (32%) had sustained significant complications due to cataract surgery prior to retinal detachment; 45 eyes (27%) presented with grade B, C or D proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The overall reattachment rate was 84%. This was significantly higher in the posterior chamber lens group than in the iris-fixated lens or anterior chamber lens groups (93 vs. 69 and 81%). Our data show that uneventful extracapsular cataract extraction plus posterior chamber lens implantation offers the best chance of successful detachment surgery.

“…Figure b is the mean and standard devia tion of the ERG amplitude differences between the intracapsularly and the extracapsularly operated eyes of the same subject. corneal endothelium but also the whole eye [4] suffers either through a toxic effect of the aqueous humor [22] or through physical disturbances in the dynamics of intraocular structures induced by the disruption of the barrier between the anterior and the posterior parts of the eye.…”

Reversible Reduction of the Photopic Flicker Electroretinogram after Cataract Operation

Retinal function is studied by photopic flicker electroretinography in the early postoperative phase and at a later stage after cataract surgery. In the postoperative phase the electroretinogram (ERG) shows a transient reduction 1 day after cataract extraction. The ERG depression is no more measurable 6 days postoperatively. This ERG reduction could not be prevented by treatment with a prostaglandin inhibitor. A transient reduction of intraocular pressure does not affect the ERG. ERG alterations are therefore assumed to be due to circulatory changes in the retina and choroid. In the late postoperative period there is no ERG difference between the two eyes of the same subject when one eye has been operated by an extracapsular and the other by an intracapsular technique. This result speaks against a diffuse retinal lesion after intracapsular extraction as put forward by Binkhorst and Worst.
