  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A preliminary study of beta-irradiation for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) was done. A total dose of 20 Gy (2 Gy/day) was applied to 4 eyes of PVR after vitrectomy. In 2 eyes, the retina was reattached, while only partial reattachment was obtained in 2 eyes. Possible immediate side effects of the radiation include persistent epithelial defect of the cornea and stronger fibrin reaction in the anterior chamber. No late complication was observed in the average follow-up period of 6 months. This preliminary study showed that beta-irradiation of 20 Gy is not hazardous to eyes of PVR for at least 6 months. Radiation therapy may be a promising adjunctive treatment for PVR.
