Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of perfluorocarbone liquids (PFCLs) for tamponading lower retinal breaks to achieve retinal reattachment in eyes of retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and inferior breaks.

Patients and methods The study was prospective non comparative interventional study. It included thirty eyes of 30 patients suffering from retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy and inferior breaks attending the ophthalmology department at Minia University Hospital.
