Résumé
Determine the ability of Lambda retinometry to predict post-cataract surgery visual acuity in vitrectomized eyes. Prospective study including 47 cataract surgery candidates with a history of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Lambda retinometry using a hand-held Lambda retinometer and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured preoperatively, and BCVA was reassessed postoperatively. Lambda predictions strongly correlated with postoperative BCVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]) ( Lambda retinometry can reliably predict the postoperative BCVA in cataract patients who previously underwent PPV, with a tendency towards underestimation.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Determine the ability of Lambda retinometry to predict post-cataract surgery visual acuity in vitrectomized eyes.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Prospective study including 47 cataract surgery candidates with a history of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Lambda retinometry using a hand-held Lambda retinometer and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured preoperatively, and BCVA was reassessed postoperatively.
RESULTS
Lambda predictions strongly correlated with postoperative BCVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]) (
CONCLUSIONS
Lambda retinometry can reliably predict the postoperative BCVA in cataract patients who previously underwent PPV, with a tendency towards underestimation.
