Abstract: Needle drainage of subretinal fluid with simultaneous observation using the indirect ophthalmoscope has been reported to have a very low complication rate. The technique was evaluated by prospective clinical trial. study group consisted 100 patients undergoing scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who were randomly assigned groups treated needle or conventional two-stage drainage. At 1 month, retina anatomically flat in 88% all cases. Subretinal hemorrhage occurred...

Foveal microholes are a possible cause of unilateral or bilateral small central visual defects in the absence other macular pathology. In 18 eyes 17 patients we noted following features: small, dark-reddish holes centre fovea ranging from 50 to 150 micron size; normal adjacent retinal pigment epithelium and neuroepithelium; most cases; males females equally affected; mean age 40 years; insidious onset; no history direct eye trauma sungazing; non-progressive; relatively favourable outcome;...

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of retention removal silicone oil in treatment complicated retinal detachments. Methods: The records 344 patients (348 eyes) that underwent vitrectomy injection for detachments were abstracted analysed. anatomical functional results, complications influencing factors are discussed. outcome eyes after was compared with a comparable group which retained. Results: overall reattachment rate 63% (220/348). final vision 5/300 or better...

Abstract Ten cases of choroidal melanoma were treated with Argon and/or Krypton laser photocoagulation in this retrospective study. Each patient received an average 9.6 treatment sessions. Three female and seven male patients followed for 69.9 months. Clinical regression was observed (70%). Tumour size these successfully ranged from 4.5 times 5.0 1.5 mm to 7.0 3.5 mm. Continued growth occurred one case (10%), tumour recurrence which failed respond additional another although a appeared third...

Abstract We describe a flexible approach employing vitrectomy, scleral buckling and intraocular tamponading agents in the treatment of giant retinal tears. Intraocular gas without buckle was used 10 least complicated cases. In five eyes we considered to be necessary addition tamponade. Silicone oil selected as primary agent six most complex cases with PVR re‐operations. The overall anatomical success rate 71 % which 73% had final visual acuity at 6/60 60% achieved 6/18 or better.
