Thank you Pravin & Manish. Ecellent work.
Thanks all for your respective comments...well the visual acuity started with hand motions and also the last follow up we had was hand motions...i dont think at any point we or the patient had any unrealistic expectations on that just like macular rotation surgery but we wnated to see if we could alernatively achieve early stabilisation and maybe visual improvement as a bonus if possible...
terrific surgery only want to know about the visual outcome.
What is the BCVA before and after surgery? Or if the eye is blind it is to prevent neovascular glaucoma?
intra ocular avastin and kenalog at the end and intermitantly according to recurrence would have helped to prevent recurrences and redetachment of retina.
thank you ; nice film, interesting case
is there a treatment for a scar in macular
Thank you for your comments Mr Mario, well for conditions like this, especially involving children, its better to do everything that can be done and in the end if it helps preventing complications, so be it
This surgery is to prevent neovascular glaucoma, nothing more, nothing less
