The Incidence of Complete Posterior Vitreous Degeneration After Phacoemulsification

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Intraocular surgery could induce vitreous degeneration and then abnormal posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) could occur including vitreoschisis and partial-thickness PVD. Vitreomacular interface (VMI) abnormalities such as epimacular membrane were observed following many intraocular surgeries. The incidence of peripheral break and epimacular membrane (EMM) after pneumatic retinopexy were 11.7% and 4-11%, respectively. Although multiple intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections induced PVD of 5.6%, but peripheral break was reported as only 0.67%. The incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after phacoemulsification is gradually increased with time. The accumulative risk of RRD was increased from 0.27% at 1 year to 1.27% at 20 years after phacoemulsification.
