The myopic eye subject to refractive surgery maintains a high risk of retinal detachment (RD). We present the difficulties of endo-ocular surgery on patients with previous radial keratotomy as well as the particular aspects of RD in patient with LASIK. RD in lens refractive surgery eyes is not essentially different from RD on pseudophakic eyes. ReStore pseudophakic lenses rise particular problems following vitreo-retinal surgery (retinal laser photocoagulation, lens des-centering duet of vitreal architecture changes).
