Background:
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a
clinically common congenital retinal disease, with a incidence of about
1/4000(1). The pathological manifestations include progressive
dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelial cell and photoreceptor cell,
and patients tend to have night blindness, reduced vision field and poor
vision. Currently, there is no effective treatment or prevention
measures for RP, and measures such as stem cell transplantation and gene
therapy are still in the research stage(2). 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 the condition progresses
rapidly, which has a great impact on the remaining vision of patients,
and usually requires surgical treatment. This paper retrospectively
analyzed the vision, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal endothelial
cell count (ECC), macular morphology and postoperative complications of
63 patients (84 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular
lens (IOL) implantation in our hospital from January 2014 to October
2019. The results are as follows.
