[Peripheral retinal lesions in aphakia]. 1978

J B Saracco, and A Cornand, and G Estachy, and M Llavador

The peripheral retina of 150 aphakic eyes with uncomplicated extraction was studied with the Goldmann three-mirror contact lens. The patients were examined 1 month to more than 2 years after cataract extraction. In addition to degenerations which are descirbed everywhere and are seen both in phakic and aphakic eyes, the authoris have emphasized lesions which they consider to be specific of aphakia. These lesions are retinal haemorrhages of wich four types are described; pigmentary anomalies and retinal tears and holes. Taking into consideration the great frequency of aphakic retinal detachment in comparison with phakic detachment, it is evident that such lesions must be held liable in aphakic retinal detachment.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012162 Retinal Degeneration A retrogressive pathological change in the retina, focal or generalized, caused by genetic defects, inflammation, trauma, vascular disease, or aging. Degeneration affecting predominantly the macula lutea of the retina is MACULAR DEGENERATION.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
