Abstract;Purpose: We compared the spread between predicted and postoperative actual refractive errors after simultaneous vitrectomy, phacoemulsification, aspiration, and acryl lens insertion and after cataract surgery alone. Methods: Cataract surgery and vitrectomy(combined surgery group) were performed in 185 eyes, and cataract surgery only(cararact surgery group) in 63 eyes. Vitrectomy was needed for diabetic retinopathy in 104 eyes, macular hole in 26 eyes, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in 25 eyes, and other conditions in 30 eyes. Results: The spread between predicted and actual refractive errors were +0.19.+-.1.24D(mean.+-.standard devciation) in the combined surgery group and +0.91.+-.1.40D in the cataract surgery group. Gas tamponade in the combined surgery group increased the myopic change more than anything else. Conclusion: Actual refractive errors in the combined surgery group were found to shift to myopia more than in the cararact surgery group. Gas tamponade was considered to press the intraocular lens forward in the combined surgery group. (author abst.)
