Abstract

It has been agreed upon that scleral buckling procedures is the treatment of choice in most cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Adequate intraoperative closure of retinal break(s), proper drainage of SRF (if indicated), together with ensuring a well-attached retina in the early postoperative follow-up period have always been the main goals for retinal surgeons.However, by the late 20th century, surgeons started to realize that such surgeries can influence the anterior segment of the eye in many aspects. Changes in the anterior segment dimensions were always expected. Shallow choroidal effusions anterior to the circumferential buckles were noted by fundus examination in somepatients after surgery.
