  • Title: Bilateral retinal detachment with giant tears.
    Author: Fox KR.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1981 Feb; 13(2):229-31. PubMed ID: 7247182.
    Abstract:
    A ten-year-old boy underwent simultaneous bilateral repair of giant tear retinal detachments. He underwent scleral buckling with silicone explants, encircling band placement, and drainage of subretinal fluid bilaterally. Additionally, the left eye underwent intravitreal injection of air through the pars plana and postoperative argon laser photocoagulation. Intraoperative transcleral cryopexy was applied in each eye. After six months, visual acuity is maintained at 20/80 and 20/60 with the retina flat in both eyes.
