“…27 Although procedures in which the natural lens is left intact (phakic intraocular lenses) have a lower risk, there is still a retinal detachment rate of 0.8% to 4.8% reported. 28 Our figures compare well with those in previous studies and with the retinal detachment rate in myopic patients who have not had an ocular procedure. We postulate that this is explained by a rigorous preoperative dilated fundus examination with the judicious use of prophylactic laser treatment and, when required, referral for vitreoretinal surgery.…”

“…First, the presence of degenerative lesions and peripheral vitreoretinal adhesions may increase the chance of retinal tears or detachments associated with the procedure, as occurs in other surgical procedures such as phacoemulsification and refractive surgery 27 28. However, the frequency of retinal detachment after intravitreous bevacizumab seems to be very low.…”

“…Several severe complications have presented with phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation in both anterior chamber and posterior chamber models, including pupil ovalization [1], corneal decompensation [2, 3], glaucoma, cataract formation [4, 5], dislocation to the vitreous cavity [6] and retinal detachment [7]. …”
