Abstract:
Retinopathy of prematurity with retinal detachment continues to present a challenge to the vitreoretinal surgeon despite many advances in technique. We report on two eyes with stage 4 and 5 ROP operated on using vitrectomy techniques and a perfluorocarbon liquid (Vitreon). The surgical technique is described in detail.
