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.
