The mean age was 62 years.

Increased myopia and the presence of vitreous and/or retinal hemorrhage were associated with the presence of retinal tear(s) (P = 0.03 and P < 0.0001, respectively) at presentation.

Twenty-three of the presenting eyes and 2 of the fellow eyes had have retinal break(s) at the first clinic visit.

Of those, 14 eyes were found not to have a visible Weiss ring.

Group A had a mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution VA of 0.63 ± 0.33 and 0.51 ± 0.31 preoperatively and 3 months after surgery, respectively.

Group B had a mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution VA of 0.47 ± 0.17 and 0.36 ± 0.17 preoperatively and 3 months after surgery, respectively.

No significant difference was found between the groups in change of VA.

The difference in macular thickness reduction between the groups was statistically significant.

The functional outcome is poor despite various treatment options, including laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, and a variety of surgical procedures.

We report a case of iatrogenic choroidal neovascularization in a 69-year-old woman at the site of inadvertent retinal trauma 5 weeks after an epiretinal membrane peel.

We included 184 patients in this study.

The mean age was 65.6 years (SD 13.2) and 46% were male.

Entry site breaks were not linked to the gauge of the instruments, but retinal breaks were more common in 23-gauge surgeries, although this was not statistically significant.

One rhegmatogenous retinal detachment occurred in the postoperative period.
