Brief summary
Intraocular tamponade used in vitrectomy operations may affects retinal function in various mechanisms.
Detailed description
Various intraocular tamponade are being used in vitrectomy operations as gases, fluids and silicon oil. The effects of these intraocular tamponade may affects the final visual outcome of the surgery.
Interventions
Vitrectomy operation to treat retinal detachment
Retinal function assessment using electroretinogram

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* primary retinal detachment patients. * patients eligible for 23 gauge pars-plana vitrectomy operation.
Exclusion criteria
* patients with axial length more than 30 millimeter that may have severe chorioretinal degenerations that may affects retinal function. * patients with macular diseases that may affects final visual outcome as macular holes and choroidal neovascular membranes.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|

| Retinal function amplitude | Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up. | Changes in electroretinogram amplitude parameters in microvolt/second measured by roland consult retinal function device. |
| Retinal function implicit time. | Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up. | Changes in electroretinogram implicit time in millisecond measured by roland consult retinal function device. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intraocular pressure | Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up. | Changes in intraocular pressure measured by goldman applanation tonometry in millimeter mercury. |
