Vitreoretinal surgery can cause significant corneal damage, particularly in diabetic patients. Factors like surgical tools, solutions, and adjunctive agents contribute to these ocular surface complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Corneal Health

Background:

  • Vitreoretinal surgery poses risks to corneal integrity.
  • Diabetic corneas are especially vulnerable to surgical complications.
  • Ocular surface issues can arise from various surgical factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors contributing to corneal compromise after vitreoretinal surgery.
  • To review complications associated with scleral buckling procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing literature on vitreoretinal surgery outcomes.
  • Review of factors influencing corneal health post-surgery.
  • Examination of complications related to scleral buckling.

Main Results:

  • Corneal compromise is linked to lens systems, irrigating solutions, and preoperative conditions.
  • Intraocular gasses and silicone oil can exacerbate corneal issues.
  • Scleral buckling may lead to corneal, conjunctival, and ocular surface problems, often due to extrusion or infection.

Conclusions:

  • Careful consideration of surgical techniques and adjuncts is crucial to minimize corneal damage.
  • Awareness of potential complications is vital for managing patients undergoing vitreoretinal procedures.
