- Description
- The retinal detachment in this 52-year-old man was brought on by this oval tear which has no flap or free operculum. This is however still a tractional tear caused by the retina pulling away from a corneoretinal adhesion, which is marked by the yellow spots seen through the tear. Actually, therefore, the operculum is behind the retina and attached to the pigment epithelial layer.
