Abstract
Twenty-two eyes with traction retinal detachment (RD) secondary to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in 21 infants were treated by scleral buckling in combination with external cryotherapy and drainage of subretinal fluid. Anatomic reattachment of the retina was achieved in 13 (59%) of 22 eyes. Of those patients achieving anatomic reattachment with follow-up of 18 months or more, four (40%) of ten had 20/400 or better visual acuity.
