Abstract
The risk for postoperative RD in this study (1.5% to 2.2%) corresponds to the incidence of pseudophakic RD and idiopathic RD in myopia described in the literature. The risk profile for postoperative RD in this series cannot be distinguished from the risk profile for idiopathic RD in myopia of this extent. The true effect of prophylactic treatment of degenerative lesions remains to be elucidated.
