The study was designed as a prospective interventional case series.28 eyes of 28 patients with recent primary RRD &(PVR≤C2 were divided in to 2 equal groups ‘A’ &’B’. ‘A’ operated by SB using 25 G Chandelier iilumination and non contact viewing system &’B’ with conventional procedure. The preoperative demographics, success rate of retinal reattachment at 3 months, intraoperative findings, and postoperative complications evaluated.Intraoperatively.4 eyes in ‘A’ noted a new break.10 eyes in ‘A’ on first post op day showed well attached retina.8 eyes in ‘B’ had Subretinal fluid on first post op day.
Although post operative BCVA& anatomical success was similar in both groups at 3 months, CES allows excellent visualisation & treatment of retinal breaks &safety during SRFD.It can be considered an effective alternative to vitreoretinal surgery in simple retinal detachment cases & aids in teaching purposes apart from allowing better ergonomics for the surgeon
