Purpose: To determine the frequency and to identify predictors of retinal detachment after pediatric cataract surgery without primary intraocular lens implantation.

Methods: Retrospective review at an eye hospital identified 1017 eyes among 579 patients who underwent limbal-approach surgery without primary IOL implantation at age < or =16 years for cataract unassociated with other ocular abnormalities aside from microcornea. Patients had a minimum of 2 years postoperative follow-up.
