PURPOSE To compare the results of narrow encircling band surgery with standard encircling scleral buckling for retinal detachments (RDs) with intrabasal or unseen breaks. METHODS In a retrospective study, eyes with intrabasal or unseen breaks underwent narrow band implantation (group N) or standard encircling buckling plus wide tire placement (group W) and were followed for at least one year....

AIM We aimed to compare peak systolic velocity of central retinal artery (PSV.CRA) and peak systolic velocity of ophthalmic artery (PSV.OA) between patients with retinal detachment who were treated with segmental scleral bucking and scleral buckling with encircling procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a descriptive-analytic cross sectional study that was performed in Isfahan univer...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and performance of a second-generation device for CO2 laser-assisted sclerectomy surgery system in experimental models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Laser-assisted deep sclerectomy using a modified CO2 laser system (OT-134-"IOPtiMate"; IOPtima Ltd, Israel) was performed in 3 experimental models: enucleated pig eyes, human cadaver eyes, and live rabbit eyes. A half-thic...
