Effect of preoperative posture and binocular occlusion on retinal detachment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an unselected series of retinal detachments a 24-hour period of binocular occlusion and posture with a retinal hole dependent produces some resolution of subretinal fluid in 13% of cases. If only patients with acute, freely mobile detachments and retinal holes above the horizontal meridian were selected the proportion of detachments showing some resolution rose to 30%. In 8% of cases a paradoxical response occurred, the detachment increasing in depth or extending to involve an additional area of retina.

متن کاملDiplopia after retinal detachment surgery.
Diplopia following retinal detachment usually responds to simple measures. Fifteen out of 311 cases developed diplopia lasting more than three months after conventional retinal detachment surgery. Binocular single vision was restored in 12 of the 15 cases (80%). The mean follow-up was four years. Diplopia was eliminated stepwise. If prisms were ineffective, our first surgical procedure was remo...

متن کاملSCIENTIFIC REPORT The effect of arteriovenous sheathotomy on cystoid macular oedema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion
Background: Arteriovenous (AV) sheathotomy, a potential treatment for branch retinal vein occlusion (BVO), surgically separates retinal vessels at an AV crossing. Relief of the aetiological obstruction, with resolution of cystoid macular oedema (CMO), may result in improved visual acuity. Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive cases of AV sheathotomy for BVO was undertaken. Eyes were ca...
