Authors: JOHN C. BARBER MD

Abstract

The roto-extractor was used in 32 cases of anterior segment membranes or opacities during an 18-month period. Of these, 27 eyes improved and five did not improve or became worse. Significant complications included retinal detachment, massive preretinal retraction, and recurrent hemorrhage which contributed to the visual loss in these patients.
