Abstract |
During intracapsular lens extraction the extreme retinal periphery is subjected to zonula-mediated traction and possible damage to the retinal vessels. The vascular pattern at the ora serrata was studied with special reference to the frequency and distribution of vessels positioned adjacent to the ora structures. The possible role of leakage from such vessels in vitreo- retinal pathology of the aphakic eye is discussed.
