Refractive Outcomes of Retinal Detachment Repair in Patients with Multifocal Intraocular Lenses with and without Scleral Buckling.

Compared with eyes treated with PPV alone, the addition of a SB was associated with approximately -1.0D greater postoperative myopic shift while demonstrating similar visual and anatomic outcomes.

Refractive outcomes following SB placement in patients with multifocal intraocular lenses were comparable to prior reports in pseudophakic populations and may not represent a clinically prohibitive refractive change.

These findings suggest that the addition of an encircling SB remains a viable option for RRDs in refractive-optimized patients.
