Cryotherapy has been reported to be of benefit in pars planitis. We studied 16 eyes with classic pars planitis unresponsive to corticosteroid therapy. Eight eyes continued with systemic and periocular steroid therapy, and in the remaining eight eyes transconjunctival cryopexy of the peripheral retina and vitreous base was done as an additional procedure. At 6 months four of the eyes that received cryopexy showed an improvement in Snellen visual acuity, and in the other four the acuity was unchanged; none of the eyes showed any vitreous base neovascularization. Among the eyes that received steroid therapy only, the acuity was unchanged in five, improved in one and reduced in two.
