Abstract
Background:Patients with Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment may develop raised intraocular pressure and recurrence of retinal detachmentwhen they undergo external retinal detachment surgery. The present study was conducted to determine the postoperative rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) and recurrence of retinal detachment. Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted at Eye department of Lady Reading Hospital,Peshawar on25patientsof both gendersfrom August 2012 to July 2014. Results:Of the25patients,18(72%) developed raised IOP in the immediate postoperative period; this figure decreased to12(48%) at one week. Following medical or surgical intervention in these12cases,there was only1(4%) case with mildly raised IOP at two weeks postoperative. Five(20%) cases developed recurrent retinal detachment which later resolved with treatment. There were no significant differences by age or gender. Conclusion:External Retinal Detachment Surgery raised intraocular pressure postoperatively and caused recurrence of retinal detachment. These complications were treated medically and surgically with resolution within two weeks
