[Retinal detachment and posterior lens luxation. Value of liquid perfluorocarbons].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to review the benefits of perfluorocarbon liquids in the surgical treatment of retinal detachment with posterior lens dislocation.


METHODS
Three cases of retinal detachment occurring in the presence of a posteriorly dislocated intraocular lens were managed with vitrectomy, fluid perfluorocarbon, scleral buckling and silicone oil injection. The dislocated lens were removed by anterior approach.


RESULTS
In all cases a successful retinal reattachment was obtained after one or two surgical procedures.
