Abstract
This study was conducted to examine possible adverse effects on lens transparency caused by pneumatic retinopexy using sulfur hexafluoride gas. In a prospective study, both lenses of 33 patients undergoing pneumatic retinopexy in one eye were monitored up to 24 months postoperatively by slit-lamp examination and Scheimpflug photography. Pneumatic retinopexy does not cause significant lens opacifications up to 2 years after surgery. Temporary gas tamponade for pneumatic retinopexy is not associated with permanent changes in lens transparency.
