RETINAL DETACHMENT IN THE APHAKIC EYE

In this investigation of 2,091 eyes the occurrence of retinal detachment in the aphakic eye has been studied. Two groups are compared as to the incidence and type of cataract. Among 187 cases of aphakic retinal detachment in the second group, the relation between type of cataract, type of tear, cataract surgery and reattachment is recorded and the surgical procedure of the detachment discussed. The significant features and the course of the aphakic detachment are outlined and the predisposition to cataractous eye is emphasized.
