Abstract

A report is given on 6 cases of macular pucker after retinal detachment surgery. Two of these 6 patients were found only by a check up of 145 detachment patients one year after surgery. In accordance with the literature presumbly causative factors were present in 5 of the cases: vitreous hemorrhage (4), reoperations (3) vitreous loss (1). A 6Th case with very unusual centrally located retinal breaks was operated on with a silicone explant and was seen with a macular pucker 6 months later.
