ABSTRACT
A prospective Danish multicentre study was conducted to evaluate the incidence of retinal detachment after cataract extraction in myopic eyes (axial length, > or = 25.5 mm). Two hundred and forty-seven cataract extractions in myopic eyes were reported during a period of 13 months. Two hundred and forty-one eyes underwent extracapsular and six eyes intracapsular cataract extraction. The mean follow-up time for 158 eyes was seven months (ranging from 1-30 months). In five cases a retinal detachment was observed, one case was probably present preoperatively, this person had undergone intracapsular cataract extraction. The incidence of retinal detachment was thus 1.62-2.02% in the total material and 1.66% in eyes operated with extracapsular cataract extraction.
