Giant retinal tears with possible tear inversion are a special group of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. A good knowledge of the pathogenesis and surgical specifics is very important for the retinal surgeon to achieve the best anatomic results with a low PVR rate. The technical progress that was made since the 1960 s obviously led to better results in the therapy for giant retinal tears. To avoid a giant retinal tear of the second eye, a prophylactic treatment has to be discussed with the patient.
