Presented are the results of control examination performed in 121 patients in the period of 3 to 8 years after retinal detachment operation by the silicone band encircling method. Evaluated were: the anatomical reattachment, function of the eye and the cosmetic effect. The retina reattached in 63.2 p.c. of eyes. The visual acuity for far was at least 0.1 in over one half (55 p.c.) of eyes and for near 2.0 or more in 78.5 p.c. Among the persons examined by means of Amsler's test and Panel D-15 test a correct response was attained by -- respectively -- 44.7 p.c. and 76.1 p.c. of the examinees. A very good cosmetic effect was achieved in 44.9 p.c. and a good one in 47.2 p.c. of eyes.
