The induction of refractive errors by retinal detachment surgery.

This report consists of a retrospective clinical study of the effect of retinal detachment repair, specifically the encircling procedure, on induced spherical refractive error. The analyze the findings we include optical and supplementary clinical and in vitro studies of corneal curvature, axial length, and anteiror chamber depth. The results of each of these help confirm and are sufficient to explain the discoveries of the original clinical study.
