Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 1324 [human] eyes showed a statistically significant influence of the extracapsular approach in preventing aphakic retinal detachment (ARD) and a significant propensity for high myopes and for eyes containing iris clip lenses to develop ARD. After exclusion of the association with vitreous loss, ARD occurred in 1.9% of 482 control intracapsular eyes, 4.8% of 185 eyes containing iris clip lenses (both groups having a mean follow-up of 4.1 yr), 11.1% of 72 highly myopic intracapsular eyes, 1 of 46 highly myopic extracapsular eyes and none of 439 nonmyopic extracapsular eyes.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
