Abstract
There is a disagreement on the ideal intervention for pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachment. The goal of this thesis is to outline the difference between the two surgical approaches in getting higher reattachment rates and better visual outcomes. The study is a prospective randomised study to evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy alone versus a combination of both vitrectomy and scleral buckling in the treatment of pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachment.
