Risk of Retinal Redetachment After Cataract Surgery Following Retinal Detachment Repair in Myopic and Highly Myopic Eyes.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To describe how risk factors such as repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), cataract extraction, and myopia interrelate to influence the risk of retinal redetachment. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with phakic RRD who had subsequent cataract extraction. The incidence and risk of redetachment were compared using Cox regression and χ² analyses. Stratified analyses were performed based on time after cataract extraction, age, myopia status, and retinal repair type. Results: Of 1222 patients identified, no significant association was found between myopia and the incidence of redetachment, although the proportion of redetachments increased with the degree of myopia (nonmyopes, 8.5%, myopes, 9.5%, high myopes, 15.6%;
