Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of poly tetrahydrofurfuryl-co-lactic acid (copolymer C 4) as the biodegradable vitreous substitutes on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods Vitreoretinal surgery with copolymer C 4 tamponades was performed on 32 pigmented rabbits (64 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The rate of reattached retina and the post-operative complications were observed. Results Three months after the operation, reattached retina was found in 96.4%, glaucoma in 5.5%, cataract in 10.9%, and copolymer emulsion in 10.2% of all the eyes. Conclusion copolymer C 4 may withstand the retinal tear effectively for 3 months, and can be a valuable vitreous substitutes.
