Management of retinal detachment without tear by topical therapy (atropine and timolol).
14 various kinds of retinal detachments were treated by timolol + atropine eye drops. 4 cases were primary procedures and required no further surgery. 10 cases were recurrent detachments after episcleral or endo-vitreous surgery. In 8 cases there was a notable proliferative vitro-retinopathy. 10 cases were completely flattened by this medication and we obtained the reapplication of the posterior pole and the upper retina in the 4 other cases.
