Combined phacovitrectomy for retinal detachment and cataract—macular attachment and visual fixation as predictors of postoperative refractive error
Compared to non-macular involvement, macular detachment led to worse refractive outcomes in combined phacovitrectomy, and chord alpha, as a marker for central fixation, might serve as an explanation. Further research is needed to determine whether combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy should be performed in patients with macular detachment.
