Vitreous and retinal surgery in pseudophakia.
We review scleral buckling and vitrectomy procedures in thirteen pseudophakic eyes. Pre-operative difficulties in visualizing the fundi were few. Despite operative complications due to the implant, 90% of the retinas were reattached. Late complications involving particularly the anterior segment in both the buckling and vitrectomy groups caused the poor visual results.
