  Advantages: To show our strategy in complicated R.D, with high risk to develop recurrent RD with PVR. If the recurrence depends on the “dead space” where the concentration of fibroblastic cells is elevated, our first choice is to use HSO as tamponade agent to ensure an efficient tamponade of the inferior retina, and to “reallocate to the superior retina” eventual recurrence to treat in a second time with light...

Advantages: Nearby cosmetic IOL and pupillary reconstruction, the artificial iris is a better solution. We show our strategy to suture a foldable IOL on the back surface of the artificial iris to achieve a cosmetic and refractive result on posttraumatic aniridia. Methods: We reviewed 2 eyes with combined anterior and posterior segment injuries. Open-sky surgery technique and mini-invasive 25/23G system was used to repair ocular injuries,...
