Topical atropine and timolol therapy in failed retinal detachment surgery.
We conducted a double-blind randomized prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of topical timolol alone and topical timolol and atropine combined in cases of operated failed retinal detachment surgery cases in which no apparent open break explained the surgical failure. In both groups with and without proliferative vitreoretinopathy no statistically significant difference in retinal reattachment was found.
