Management of superior-half-bullous retinal detachment

P B Johnston et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1981 Sep.

Abstract

We treated a selected group of patients with superior-half bullous retinal detachments by preoperative bed rest and immobilisation of the affected eye using a temporary inferior rectus suture taped to the brow. Sufficient flattening of the retina was achieved in each case to permit successful simple extrascleral detachment surgery.
