Summary

The investigators compared the incidence of trimming-induced retinal breaks, retinal redetachment rate, and final LogMAR BCVA; between scleral self-indentation and non-indentation during chandelier-assisted peripheral vitrectomy under air for eyes with primary retinal detachment. Self-indentation enables complete trimming of the vitreous base without causing iatrogenic retinal breaks, with a higher retinal reattachment rate, and with less need for chandelier shift than with non-indentation approach.
