[Revascularization of the choroid in patients with pigmented retinal dystrophy]

The authors describe an analysis of visual functions and subjective changes in 44 eyes of 22 patients with pigmentary dystrophy of the retina followed up for a period of 2 to 55 months. They performed the operation of choroid revascularization according to their own method on 37 eyes. The est results were achieved in relatively early stages of the disease and where the operation was performed beneath both horizontal muscles. They did not observe per- or postoperative complications during the observation period. They recommend the operation as part of comprehensive treatment of a disease as serious as pigmentary retinal dystrophy.
