Forty-five out of 50 selected retinal detachments were successfully reattached by the D-ACE surgical sequence, that is, initial drainage of subretinal fluid followed by air injection into the vitreous, transcleral cryopexy, and definitive scleral buckling. The D-ACE sequence is recommended for difficult bullous detachments as a simple, safe, and effective alternative to non-drainage techniques.

A case is reported of a young man in whom blunt injury caused a horizontal corneal tear superiorly. Aniridia, aphakia, cyclodialysis with angle recession, minimal hyphaema, vitreous haemorrhage, choroidal rupture and striae, and scleral buckling resulted. Vision improved to 6/12+.

PURPOSE In this experimental study, a sutureless scleral buckling was performed by using a tissue adhesive glue to fixate a silicone band to the sclera. In fact, one of the major risks of traditional scleral buckling is accidental perforation of the bulb, which is more frequent when the sclera is extremely thin as it is in newborns or in eyes with high myopia or scleromalacia. METHODS An enci...

orbital fat adherence syndrome is a known complication of strabismus, orbital and scleral buckling surgery or orbital trauma which induces a restrictive strabismus. in this case presentation we introduce a surgical method of globe slinging using temporalis fascia for correction of restrictive esotropia due to fat adherence syndrome. in our review of literature we found no report of a similar pr...

AIMS To compare the success rates of vitrectomy and gas with vitrectomy, gas, and buckle in the treatment of inferior break retinal detachments. METHODS A retrospective case note review of 86 patients who presented with inferior break retinal detachments was carried out. An inferior break was defined as a horseshoe tear present between 4 and 8 o'clock. Patients were analysed in two groups; gr...

PURPOSE To determine the effect of duration of macular detachment (DMD) on visual acuity (VA) in patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred two consecutive patients (202 eyes) with primary uncomplicated macula-off RD, preoperative VA of 10/100 or worse, a precise history of when macular function w...

purpose : to evaluate the structural outcomes of treated neonates with retinopathy of prematurity (rop) methods : in this cross-sectional study from april 2008 to august 2009, 859 patients were investigated. these neonates had been consulted at the retinal clinic of farabi eye hospital of tehran university of medical sciences. those with gestational age of no more than 36 weeks and birth weight...

PURPOSE To analyze trends in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery among the members of the Korean Retina Society from 2001 to 2013. METHODS In 2013, surveys were conducted by email and post to investigate the current practice patterns regarding RRD treatment. Questions included how surgeons would manage six cases of hypothetical RRD. Results were compared to those reported in 2001....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To compare pneumatic retinopexy (PR) and scleral buckle for the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 90 patients undergoing surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, with 46 patients undergoing PR compared with 44 patients undergoing scleral buckle procedure (SBP). RESULTS Both groups had si...
