A 14-year-old boy who had ocular motility disorder which started 2 weeks following retinal surgery (scleral buckling) secondary to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, was referred to the strabismus clinic. He had significant ocular movement limitations in adduction and elevation under general anesthesia. The forced duction test (FDT) was positive in both adduction and elevation. After buckle removal, FDT was negative. The eye was orthotropic without ocular movement limitation at final follow-up. In conclusion, FDT at the end of the scleral buckling procedure needs to be performed. It may prevent restrictive strabismus after scleral buckling surgery.

Objective: The objective was to study the muscle imbalance, restrictive motility in unlike gazes and the outcomes of the scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Study design: Prospective follow-up study Settings and duration: The study was conducted at Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital Rawalpindi from Aug 2015 to Jan 2016. Methodology: The patients were checked prior to surgery and two follow up visits were done afterwards. Thorough history was taken along with full orthoptic assessment and ocular motility in all four main gazes including elevation, depression, adduction and abduction. Vision, type and position of explants, site of detachment, and risk factors of detachment were also observed. Results: A total of 48 eyes of 46 patients were taken. Mean age of the study participants was 37.16±20.37 years. Horizontal, vertical and combined deviations were observed in study population. Exo deviation was most common deviation among patients. Most reported risk factors of retinal detachment included trauma, pseudophakia, aphakia and myopia. Motility limitations of all four gazes was observed and it was found out that after buckling the squint and restriction is been increased up till two months. Conclusion: Ocular restriction among the patients was observed over a period of 2 months and it depicted that encircling with sclera buckling elicited an increase in restrictive ocular motility from pre-operative to 1 week and 2 months after surgery.

Purpose To introduce a modified scleral buckling surgery using noncontact wide-angle viewing system and intraocular illumination in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without proliferative retinopathy. Methods A modified scleral buckling surgery using noncontact wide-angle viewing system with a 25-G optic fiber through sclerotomy site was performed in 22 eyes of 22 patients with RRD. Twelve women and 10 men were included. The mean age was 49.23 ± 15.19 years. The mean refraction of myopia was -4 D (range -3 to -7 D). The mean duration of RRD was 6.64 ± 3.14 days. The preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ranged from 0.02 to 0.8. Mean follow-up was 9.59 ± 2.24 months. Proliferative retinopathy was grade A in 8 eyes and grade B in 14 eyes. Results This surgery was performed successfully and retinal attachment was achieved in all eyes at the final follow-up. The postoperative BCVA increased in all eyes. No complication was encountered related to this technique. Conclusions This modified scleral buckling surgery brings a panoramic and upright view and easy surgical maneuvers. It may be an additional approach for the management of RRD.

Objective: To study the anatomical status and visual outcome of scleral buckling surgery in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at tertiary eye care center in Nepal. Method: This is a prospective, noncomparative, consecutive, interventional study of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment managed with scleral buckling surgery performed in Lumbini Eye Institute, Nepal. All the patients underwent surgery by a single experienced surgeon and had at least 3 months follow up. Result: A total of 50 patients (50 eyes) were operated, 38 males and 12 females, with a mean age of 39.46. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 46 (92%). Improved best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was seen in 84%, whereas in 8% BCVA was same and deteriorated in another 8%. Conclusion: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is one of the common causes of visual impairment and blindness. Timely surgical management with scleral buckling surgery can give good anatomical and visual outcome.

PurposeTo investigate the incidence, clinical features and risk factors of premacular membrane (PMM) formation after primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair with scleral buckling (SB) alone.MethodsThis institutional, prospective and consecutive case series included phakic eyes with RRD, treated with SB alone within 7 days from the occurrence of symptoms, with a follow-up of 6 months. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images were reviewed. The association of PMM development and morphology with preoperative and intraoperative RRD features was analysed.ResultsNinety-two patients with a mean age of 56±13 years completed the 6 months follow-up period. Postoperatively, eyes with any PMM stage were 30 out of 92 (32.6%) at 1 month and 47 out of 92 (51,1%) at both 3 months and 6 months. Over the follow-up period, 17 out of 47 PMMs (36.2%) progressed to later stages. Progression of PMMs to later stages were observed only in RRDs involving the macular region (17 out of 35 eyes, 48.5%), while none of the PMMs in macula-sparing detachments progressed to later stages (p=0.020). The risk factors significantly associated with postoperative new onset of PMM were preoperative RRDs involving the macular region (p=0.001), cryopexy time (p=0.045), presence of horseshoe tears (p=0.003), worse preoperative visual acuity (p=0.004) and subretinal fluid drainage (p=0.047).ConclusionThe incidence of postoperative PMM formation after RRD repair with SB alone was high. In retinal detachments involving the macular region PMM were more severe, tending to anatomical progression and functional deterioration. Activation of foveal Müller cell in detachments involving the macula may be a key factor in PMM progression.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of maximal pneumatic retinopexy (PR) and subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage combined with scleral buckling (SB) in the treatment of complicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods Patients with RRD who underwent maximal PR and SRF drainage combined with SB from June 2007 to June 2012 were included in this multicenter retrospective study. The outcome measures were the primary and final operation success rates and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results In total, 159 consecutive patients were included. The mean follow-up period was 13.76 ± 1.97 months. Primary operation success was achieved in 146/159 (91.82%) eyes. After salvage management, the final reattachment rate increased to 98.11%. All eyes had improved BCVA, with 62/159 (38.99%) attaining BCVA of ≥20/40. Conclusions Maximal PR and SRF drainage combined with SB achieved satisfactory anatomical and visual recovery in relatively complicated cases of RRD. The decreased need for vitrectomy makes this surgical approach more widely available.

Abstract Background Treatment of recurrent retinal detachment (re-RD) following vitrectomy (post-gas/air tamponade and post-silicone oil removal) is challenging. Previously reported treatment is commonly revision pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with tamponade, which is invasive and a burden both economically and emotionally when compared with scleral buckling (SB). The purpose of this study is to report anatomical and functional outcomes of SB with or without gas tamponade in eyes with recurrent retinal detachment (re-RD) that previously underwent PPV at least once. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 14 patients (14 eyes) who underwent PPV at least once and were treated with SB after re-RD. Preoperative characteristics, intraoperative complications, and postoperative data were assessed. The final anatomical and functional outcomes were analyzed. Results The original PPV was performed for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in 11 eyes, macular hole retinal detachment in 2 eyes, and myopic foveoschisis in 1 eye. Previously, 3 eyes underwent one PPV with gas tamponade, and the remaining 11 (79%) eyes underwent 2–5 operations. Seven eyes underwent the procedure with gas injection. At the last follow-up, 13 eyes achieved total retinal attachment and 1 eye had re-RD. The postoperative intraocular pressure was within the normal range, except in 1 eye (6 mmHg). The finest postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25. There was a significant improvement in BCVA from 20/160 ± 20/63 at baseline to 20/80 ± 20/50 at the last visit in the 13 successfully treated eyes (P = 0.025). Conclusions SB can be effective for re-RD after PPV in specific cases.

Purpose Scleral buckling (SB) is a surgical technique that has been used successfully to treat retinal detachments for the last 6 decades. The aim of this study was to report the long-term anatomical and functional outcomes of SB surgery in phakic patients with uncomplicated primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (PRRD). This article also outlines the benefits of SB compared to pars plana vitrectomy, such as reducing the risk of developing cataract, high intraocular pressure, and glaucoma, in addition to reducing surgical cost. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical notes of 90 phakic eyes with PRRD treated with SB surgery that had a minimum of 5 years follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative characteristics were recorded. Main outcome measures were reattachment rate, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement, and complications. Results A total of 90 eyes (88 patients) with phakic PRRD repaired through SB surgery were included. Mean age was 49.2 ± 14.6 years (range 20-80). Primary and final anatomic success was 96.7% and 100%, respectively. Mean preoperative BCVA was 0.3 ± 0.31 logMAR (6/12) and mean postoperative BCVA 0.1 ± 0.2 logMAR (p<0.001) (6/7.5). There were no cataract or primary open-angle glaucoma cases after 1 year of follow-up. Mean follow-up was 8.5 ± 2.6 years (range 5-13). Conclusions We report a high single operation success rate over time in phakic PRRD, repaired through SB surgery. Functional and anatomical success was maintained throughout the follow-up without complications. Therefore, the authors recommend the use of this technique in selected cases in order to reduce morbidity and the incidence of reoperations.
