✦ Synopsis

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.

In retinal detachments the scotopic ERG is generally more disturbed than the photopic ERG; both are more disturbed than would be expected from the visibly detached retina. The disturbance is characterized by a reduction of both the a-wave and the bwave. Furthermore, the photopic responses are clearl
