  • Title: Effective macular translocation without scleral imbrication.
    Author: de Juan E, Vander JF.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1999 Sep; 128(3):380-2. PubMed ID: 10511045.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe a case of effective macular translocation accomplished without scleral imbrication or extensive retinotomy. METHODS: A case report of a 59-year-old woman with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in her left eye who underwent vitrectomy with macular detachment and fluid-air exchange. RESULTS: The macula was translocated approximately 500 microm inferiorly, allowing for photocoagulation of extrafoveal neovascularization. CONCLUSION: Limited macular translocation may be attained without scleral imbrication or significant retinotomy.
