Abstract
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to review the benefits of perfluorocarbon liquids in the surgical treatment of retinal detachment with posterior lens dislocation.
Methods:
Three cases of retinal detachment occurring in the presence of a posteriorly dislocated intraocular lens were managed with vitrectomy, fluid perfluorocarbon, scleral buckling and silicone oil injection. The dislocated lens were removed by anterior approach.
Results:
In all cases a successful retinal reattachment was obtained after one or two surgical procedures.
