Abstract
PURPOSE
This study was conducted to examine possible adverse effects on lens transparency caused by pneumatic retinopexy using sulfur hexafluoride gas.
METHODS
In a prospective study, both lenses of 33 patients undergoing pneumatic retinopexy in one eye were monitored up to 24 months postoperatively by slit-lamp examination and Scheimpflug photography.
RESULTS
Pneumatic retinopexy does not cause significant lens opacifications up to 2 years after surgery.
CONCLUSION
Temporary gas tamponade for pneumatic retinopexy is not associated with permanent changes in lens transparency.
