Retinal Detachment Model in Rodents by Subretinal Injection of Sodium Hyaluronate
Published on: September 11, 2013
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.

01:20Anatomy of the Eyeball
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle layer, the vascular tunic,...
