Of 740 patients undergoing intracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation by the same surgeon, 18 (2.43) experienced retinal detachment. Analysis of the data of these 18 patients reveals:--the series covered 6.25 years (75 months).--there were 13 males and 5 females (72% males).--their average age at the time of cataract surgery was 63.--the median duration between cataract surgery and retinal detachment was 11 months. The shortest interval was 5 weeks, the longest was 39 months.--a predisposing fall was documented in 17%.--33% suffered vitreous loss at the time of cataract extraction.--of the 18 patients, 15 (83%) underwent retinopexy; of the remaining 3, one eye (6%) was not repairable and 2 patients (11%) refused detachment surgery.--only 6 (33%) of the 18 achieved useful post-detachment vision.
