Abstract:
In a comparative study we examined the refractive changes in 117 patients following conventional buckling retinal detachment surgery. Of these, 54 had a segmental scleral buckle, 18, an encircling buckle, and 45, a combination of both methods. Comprising about 2D, the changes in spherical equivalent were most marked in the patients who had combined operations. A correlation exists between buckle height and extent of refractive change (p = 0.0297).
