One hundred patients with aphakic detachment were treated with temporary balloon buckles. The balloons were deflated and withdrawn after seven to 10 days. Permanent attachment depended on cryo- or laser-induced adhesions round the break. The procedure was initially successful in 79 patients. Ten retinas became detached again after the balloon was withdrawn and required a more permanent buckle. ...

introduction: there are different methods to repair retinal detachment. in this trial the retinopexy in repairmen of retinal regmatogenesis rd is compared with other methods in qazvin teaching hospitals during 1993-2003. methods: this out come study was conducted on 47 patients with s/b and retinal break cryopexy (group i) , 30 patients undergoing s/b with barrier laser photocoagulation around ...

Background To compare the primary anatomical outcome of pars plana vitrectomy, 360° peripheral endolaser, and 15% octafluoropropane C3F8 gas tamponade in patients with uncomplicated rhegmatogenous detachment and inferior retinal breaks, after 24-h postoperative prone positioning to similar patients with 1 week postoperative prone positioning. Methods Records of 5500 patients who underwent par...

introduction blue light is a part of the spectrum with the highest energy content, which can reach the retina. the damage that it can cause to the retina is called photochemical or blue-light retinal injury. for the retinal injury assessment of the photochemical and aphakic retinal hazards in the wavelength range of 300-700 nm, use of effective spectral radiance limits (w.m-2.sr-1) seems to be ...

purpose : evaluating the effects of memantine on visual function after scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rrd) methods : in a double blind prospective randomized clinical trial, 61 patients with clinical diagnosis of less than 4 weeks macula-off rrd who had successful scleral buckle surgery had been selected and divided into two randomized groups. thirty of them received 5 ...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of using heavy silicone oil as an internal tamponade for complicated cases of retinal detachment associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy involving inferior retinal quadrants methods: 55 eyes from 55 patients with complicated retinal detachments enrolled in this interventional case series study. all eyes underwent standard three...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome for scleral fixation of a foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) in aphakic post-pars plana vitrectomy eyes for vitreoretinal disease. METHODS The medical records of 15 patients were reviewed. We evaluated such factors as the underlying vitreoretinal disease, preoperative expected refraction and postoperative actual refraction, best corrected visual acuity (BC...

to review the available data regarding the current management of non-complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and to propose a new decision-making algorithm aimed to improve the single surgery success rate for mid-severity rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, this study performed. an online review of pubmed database was performed, searching for all available manuscripts regarding anatomical and ...
