Purpose: The observed increasing number of severe cases of retinal detachment was the ground of the attempt to state the causes of this phenomenon.
Material And Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 100 consecutive cases of retinal detachment operated on with conventional methods between September 1997 and October 1998 was performed. The following data were analysed: sex and age of patients, period between the first symptoms and time of diagnosis and surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of conventional methods in retinal detachment (RD) surgery basing on the relationship between factors characterizing clinical picture of the RD, the type and course of surgical procedures and the retinal reattachment.
Materials And Methods: 252 patients (252 eyes), operated on in the last 5 years in our clinic were enrolled in the studies. There were 120 men and 132 women, aged 9 to 83, mean 53.
Purpose: To present our experiences in cryotherapy for ROP.
Material And Methods: From October 1991 to August 1995, transscleral cryotherapy was applied in 128 eyes of 70 babies with ROP. There were 34 girls and 36 boys with birth weight between 650 g and 1990 g and gestational age from 24 to 36 weeks.
Unlabelled: The aim of this work is to present our own experience in the treatment of retinoblastoma with cryopexy.
Material And Methods: 24 children were observed, among whom 23 had bilateral and 1 unilateral retinoblastoma. We applied transconjunctival cryopexy to small neoplasmatic foci in retina located anterior to the equator.
