Abstract

Sixty-four eyes in 65 patients received prophylactic treatment for retinal break and predisposing degeneration. During the follow-up period of 6 months or more, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment occurred in 2 eyes(3.0%). In one aphakic eye, new tear was responsible for the subsequent formation of retinal detachment but in the other eye, retinal detachment resulted from inadequate reaction around the treated retinal tear. One patient with bilateral multiple tears developed new retinal tear without detachment. Except these cases, no intra-or permanent post-operative complications were noticed.
