Excerpt

Retinal tears were first observed in 1853, soon after the advent of the ophthalmoscope [1]. However, it took half a century before their role in the causation of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was recognized, based on the seminal work by Jules Gonin from 1904 to 1931 [1]. Using a hot metal probe passing through a scleral incision, Gonin developed the first successful technique for retinal detachment repair by inducing thermal injury to the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and choroid adjacent to retinal tears. Subsequent wound healing formed a watertight barrier between subretinal space and vitreous cavity. …
