Abstract

A descriptive-prospective longitudinal study on 25 patients who attended the Vitreo-Retinal Services at the Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology was carried out. The study covered the period from October 1 st 2006 to March 31 st 2007 and involved the cases with a previous diagnosis of vitreous luxated intraocular lenses during or after senile cataract surgery. The patients underwent a full ophthalmologic examination and the alterations of the anterior and posterior segment associated to this complication were determined. Most of the patients were males with ages ranging between 70 and 79 years. The luxation occurred mainly between six and twelve months after surgery. The main alterations found were posterior capsule rupture, stromal edema and posterior vitreous detachment. Most of the patients presented a normal macular status according to a coherent optical tomography study.
