title: [Complications after photocoagulation and cryotherapy (author's transl)].
abstract: A report of 3 cases is given. Following a photocoagulation because of a retinal tear a rapidly maturing cataract developed. The same occured in a patient after treatment with equatorial transconjunctival cryotherapy (according to Haut) because of dense vitreous turbidities. Though the vitreous cleared, 6 weeks after surgery a mature cataract had developed which had to be removed. In the third case a peripheral retinal hole was surrounded by dryo applications. 6 weeks later a severe proliferative macular detachment developed. Brief case reports and a discussion follow.
