The treatment of 4 cases of retinal detachment following insertion of an intraocular lens.
4 cases of retinal detachment following the use of an intraocular lens have been described. Each offered a different problem in management, the results being satisfactory in 3 out of 4 cases. The ability to dilate the pupil and the clarity of the media, along with the maintenance of the proper position of the lens seem to be the most important factors in the treatment of these cases.

Bilateral recurrent acute retinal pigment epitheliitis.
Acute retinal pigment epitheliitis appears to be a specific discrete process of unknown etiology. It is generally unilateral but can be recurrent and can affect both eyes. Eyes in which the disease has run its course exhibit little or no unusual ophthalmoscopic or visual function abnormalities. The actue phase of the disease is localized to the macular area. The lesions are localized in the retinal pigment epithelium as shown by slit-lamp and contact-lens examination, the small lesions more or less surrounding the fovea. They vary from tiny grayish to black spots, which may become surrounded by a lighter halo. Fluroescein angiography is normal in acute phases but the halo-like areas may represent "window defects" with hyperfluorescence in later stages.
