title: Retinal dialysis.
abstract: The aetiology of retinal dialysis has traditionally been closely linked to blunt trauma to the eye, and experimental work in the past has tended to confirm this view. However, a close look at eyes that have suffered known concussional injury indicates that trauma is rarely associated with retinal dialysis. The aetiology of dialysis is discussed and a technique for treatment is proposed.
