Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962).
1977 Sep.
Abstract
Our indications for prophylaxis may be summarized as follows: (1) All symptomatic holes. (2) All holes in aphakic eye. (3) All holes in fellow eyes. (4) Lattice degeneration in fellow eyes, even when holes are not present. (5) Holes in snail-track degeneration. (6) The fellow eye of one with a giant tear. (7) Asymptomatic holes in myopic eyes except those within the vitreous base. (8) Some large asymptomatic holes in non-fellow or aphakic eyes.
