Surgical management and long-term follow-up of ocular hypotony associated with peripheral circumferential retinal detachment.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the surgical management and long-term follow-up of hypotony related to post-vitrectomy peripheral circumferential retinal detachment (PCD).

Methods

Eyes diagnosed with hypotony secondary to PCD after pars plana vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The patient demographic data, complications, management, and treatment outcomes were collected and analyzed.

Results

Four eyes were included in this study. The median preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200 and the mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 4.5 mmHg. One case had rubeosis iridis. All eyes underwent peripheral retinectomy to remove the detached retina and release ciliary body traction. Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in all eyes. T
