Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Retinal Detachment after Pediatric Cataract Surgery

A 5.5% risk for RD is estimated for the first 10 years after cataract surgery in children with no known ocular and systemic anomalies. The risk significantly increases in a male, myopic, and intellectual disabled child. We emphasize the need for regular and long-term follow-up after pediatric cataract surgery.
