“…Cataract surgery itself is safe and reliable, and does not lead to the occurrence and progression of other RP‐related complications. Therefore, it is suggested that RP complicated with cataract should be treated by surgery 8‐10 . The results of this study also showed that most of the patients' vision was improved, the operation outcome was good and the operation was safe and reliable.…”

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a clinically common congenital retinal disease, with an incidence of about 1/4000. 1 The pathological manifestations include progressive dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelial cell and photoreceptor cell, and patients tend to be night blind and have reduced vision field and poor vision. Currently, there is no effective treatment or prevention measures for RP, and interventions such as stem cell transplantation and gene therapy are still in the research stage. 2,3 In addition to primary retinal damage, RP is usually accompanied by other eye diseases. Cataract is one of the most common complications of RP. 4 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, patients would need surgical treatment. This paper retrospectively analysed the vision, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal endothelial cell count (ECC), macular morphology and postoperative complications of 63 patients (84 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification

PURPOSE:To observe the effect of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with or without lens capsular tension ring (CTR) on retinitis pigmentosa (RP) combined with cataract patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cases series study. METHODS: 63cases (84 eyes) of RP with cataract were collected including 30 males and 33 females. Phacoemulsification with 3.0mm clear corneal incision was performed in all the patients. IOL+CTR implantation was performed in 44 eyes, and only IOL implantation was performed in 40 eyes. All cases were followed up at 1 week and 1, 3, 6 months after the surgery to compare the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal endothelial cell count and complications before and after the surgery. RESULTS: all surgery were successfully completed by the same physician, and IOL and CTR were all implanted in capsule without complications. The BCVA at 6 months after surgery was 0.91±0.88 LogMAR. It improved a little compared with the BCVA(1.3±0.7LogMAR) before surgery and there was a signifcant difference in statistic(P=0.003). Four cases of capsule contraction syndrome(CCS) occurred in no CTR implantation group and there was no CCS in CTR group. There was signifcant difference in statistic about the incidence of CCS between two groups(P=0.047).CONCLUSIONS: Phacoemulsification for RP combined with cataract is safe and reliable, and CTR implantation is helpful to reduce the complications caused by capsule contraction.

“…Cataracts develop at a relatively young age in RP patients [ 2 , 3 ] and, therefore, impact patients' quality of life due to the loss of visual function. It was recently reported that cataract surgery for RP patients did not appear to be associated with a faster structural progression as measured with OCT [ 4 ]. However, it is occasionally difficult to judge whether cataract surgery is beneficial for patients with RP because of problems such as fragile Zinn's zonular fibers, posterior capsular opacification, anterior capsular contraction, macular edema, and difficulty in predicting postoperative visual function.…”

Purpose. To determine the effects of cataract surgery on contrast visual acuity and retinal sensitivity in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. Methods. Retinal sensitivity and contrast visual acuity were determined by microperimetry (MAIA) and contrast sensitivity acuity tester (CAT-CP), respectively, before and after cataract surgery. The significance of the correlations between visual acuity, retinal sensitivity, contrast visual acuity, improvements after surgery, and macular structure before and after cataract surgery was determined. Results. Retinal sensitivity and contrast visual acuity were significantly improved after cataract surgery. The correlations among postoperative visual acuity, postoperative retinal sensitivities, and preoperative ellipsoid zone length were significant. The postoperative retinal sensitivity of the central 10° and the ellipsoid zone length was particularly significantly correlated. Preoperative contrast visual acuity and the amount of improvement and preoperative retinal sensitivity and the amount of improvement were significantly negatively correlated. The contrast visual acuity under both the 100% and 10% photopic and mesopic conditions improved significantly after cataract surgery. Conclusions. Cataract surgery in retinitis pigmentosa patients with preserved ellipsoid zones significantly improved retinal sensitivity and contrast visual acuity. Cataract surgery can be expected to improve retinal sensitivity and contrast visual acuity under various conditions, even if preoperative visual parameters are low, as long as the ellipsoid zone is preserved.
