Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with acute retinal necrosis; it is primarily indicated when there is a substantial risk of complications, including retinal detachment and tissue atrophy.

Surgery

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with acute retinal necrosis; it is primarily indicated when there is a substantial risk of complications, including retinal detachment and tissue atrophy.[1]

Vitrectomy

Vitrectomy may be indicated both before and after occurrence of retinal detachment to improve visual prognosis.[2]

The success of vitrectomy in improving outcomes is dependent on the time between the onset of acute retinal necrosis and the time at which the procedure is performed.[2]

Prophylactic Laser Retinopexy

Prophylactic laser retinopexy may be indicated to prevent retinal detachment by photocoagulation, creating posterior chorioretinal adhesions.[5][6]

Due to reported occurrences of retinal detachment from prophylactic laser photocoagulation, more research is necessary to determine the ideal indications for the procedure.[5]
