Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS:
Vitreon was used as an intraoperative adjunct in 34 children with complicated retinal detachment secondary to penetrating and perforating trauma. The characteristics of the injuries, the final visual acuities, the postoperative complications and the rate of anatomic success were evaluated in a retrospective study. RESULTS: Patients were followed-up an average of 20 months. Eighteen retinas (53%) were reattached, and the postoperative visual acuity was counting fingers or better in 9 cases (26%), and only 4 eyes saw better than 10/200 at last follow-up. Hypotony developed in 7 (21%) of 34 eyes. CONCLUSION:
