Background:
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a clinically common congenital retinal disease, with a incidence of about 1/40001. The pathological manifestations include progressive dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelial cell and photoreceptor cell, and patients tend to be night blind, have reduced vision field and poor vision. Currently, there is no effective treatment or prevention measures for RP in world, and such as stem cell transplantation and gene therapy are still in the research stage2. In addition to primary retinal damage, RP is usually accompanied by other eye diseases. Cataract is the most common complication of RP. Patients with RP complicated with cataract are young in age and progress rapidly, which has a great impact on the remaining vision of patients, and usually need surgical treatment. This paper retrospectively analyzed the vision, intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell count, macular morphology and postoperative complications of 63 patients (84 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation in our hospital from January 2014 to October 2019. The results are as follows.
