“…Therefore, neither a hydrostatic nor an oncotie pressure gradient exists to pull water from the extravascular choroid into the vessels. An extraordinary pathway for aqueous outflow through the sclera is equally unlikely, because such a pathway should be pressure-dependent and have a measurable facility; several tonographic studies (2,13,15,25) have demonstrated outflow facilities to be normal or low in eyes with retinal detachments. An alternative explanation for the hypotony in eyes with detached retinas is a reduction of aqueous humor production.…”

“…Kleiner (12) found that pressure in the affected eye did not begin to rise until four weeks after operation and did not equal the pressure in the fellow eye until four months had elapsed. Syrdalen (24) and Utermann and Deichmann (25) found that pressure asymmetry persisted even four to six months after a successful scleral buckling operation.…”

Relative hypotony in the affected eye was present in 40% of patients with uncomplicated unilateral retinal detachments. The average pressure asymmetry was only 1.3 mm Hg, but in one out of every four patients the difference was 3 mm Hg or more. In a control group, such a difference occured in only one out of every twenty patients. Relative hypotony persisted for longer than six months after scleral buckling operation, occuring even in patients that did not exhibit hypotony preoperatively.

“…Utermann and Deichmann [17], in their comparative study of various surgical procedures, found in all cases a rise in intraocular pressure to 27 mm Hg directly after the operation, which began to fall within 24 hours and had usually disappeared within a week. After 12 days slight hypotonia developed due to reduced aqueous production.…”

After retinal detachment operations 1-5% of the patients develop glaucoma. If this occurs directly after the operation it is the result of mechanical narrowing of the chamber angle. This can be the result of indentation due to an exoplant or encircling band causing forward displacement of the lens/iris diaphragm. Other causes are torsion of the ciliary body or a ciliary block due to serous detachment of the choroid caused by venous compression or diathermy. Ischaemia of the anterior segment sometimes leads to glaucoma in the long run; this is then the result of rubeosis iridis. Conducive factors are detachment of the recti muscles, arterial and venous compression by the exoplant or encircling band and the use of diathermy. When performing such operations it is advisable to take these risks into account and to keep a check on the intraocular pressure after the operation. A patient is described who, as the result of ischaemia, eventually developed ribeosis iridis with neovascular glaucoma, leading to loss of the eye.
