    Description
    A middle-aged man underwent complex retinal detachment repair with vitrectomy, membrane peeling, relaxing retinectomy, and silicone oil tamponade. This is a wide-field image immediately after methotrexate injection during a postoperative clinic visit, for the prevention of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The methotrexate bubble is seen inferiorly.
