  • Title: The surgical management of macular pucker in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
    Author: Shea M.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1980 Jan; 87(1):70-4. PubMed ID: 7375088.
    Abstract:
    Fourteen patients underwent surgery for macular pucker. The maximal follow-up is 26 months, the minimum is 3 months, and the average is 10 months. The essential feature of the operation is mechanical separation of the posterior cortical vitreous from the retinal surface. A fine wrinkling retinopathy usually remains. Visual recovery, although usually incomplete, is significant and has been maintained throughout the entire period of observation.
