title: The relation between the sagittal and transversal diameters in eyes with retinal detachment.
abstract: Using A-mode ultrasonography, the axial length and the width (transversal or equatorial diameter) of both eyes--fellow and affected--have been measured in patients with retinal detachment. For comparison, the same measurements have been performed in healthy controls. The patients have been divided into different groups. It was found that there are some changes in the relation between the axial length and the width of the eyes in patients with retinal detachment, according to the comparison with healthy people, in most cases.
