PEREZ CANDELARIA, Eneida; STOLIK PEREZ, Pamy; RIO TORRES, Marcelino  y  BAYARRE VEA, Héctor. Incidence of retina detachment in patients operated on of cataract, 1990-1997. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2002, vol.15, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

The study conducted in patients operated on of cataract at the Center of Serial Ocular Microsurgery (CSOM) by using the extracapsular crystallyne lens extraction (wide incision) from 1990 to 1997, and that after surgery had retinal detachment (RD), is presented. Of a total of 17 762 patients operated on of cataract, only 42 of them had RD, which represented a rate of 2.4 per one thousand patients operated on (very low rate). Different variables that could have some incidence on the appearance of this entity, such as age, sex, history of ocular diseases, history of systemic diseases, transsurgical complications, postsurgical complications and posterior capsulotomy, were analyzed. The Intraocular Lens (IOL) entrapment was the postsurgical complication with the highest rate, followed by the history of systemic diseases and the vitreous loss.
