Abstract
In patients with a history of previous scleral buckling surgery, the risk of redetachment after cataract surgery is low. In these patients, phacoemulsification can be performed safely and there is no need for extended postoperative attention. It is, however, important to inform all patients with previous retinal detachment surgery to seek prompt medical care if they experience symptoms of redetachment. This is important even several years after the cataract surgery was performed.
