Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find prognostic factors associated with low visual acuity in patients experiencing vitreous loss during cataract surgery.
Methods
A retrospective, noncomparative, interventional, case study of patients experiencing vitreous loss during cataract surgery.
n = 179 patients
Results
secondary lens implantation was linked to worse corrected vision after surgery
OR by subgroup · 95% CI
More results
Conversely, pars plana vitrectomy (pars plana vitrectomy) for dislocated fragments of lens material, age > 70 years, gender, axial length, degree of surgeon, corneal suturing, and anterior chamber lens implantation were not found to have significant associations with low visual outcomes ( P > 0.05).
“
Conclusion
Low visual outcome after vitreous loss during cataract surgery was associated with ocular comorbidities, secondary intraocular lens implantation, development of cystoid macular edema, and additional surgical complications.
