Dataset Information

In-Office Suprachoroidal Viscopexy for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

In-office suprachoroidal viscopexy (SCVEXY) is a minimally invasive technique for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair that can be performed with no incision, no tamponade agent, and no positioning requirements. This technique has the potential to be a step forward in the armamentarium to treat RRDs.

Objective

To describe in-office SCVEXY for RRD repair.

Design, setting, and participant

In this single-case report with short follow-up, a man in his 50s with pseudophakia and recent visual loss presented to St Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, with a fovea-off RRD in the right eye, extending from 6 to 10 o'clock, with no visible causative retinal break.
