METHODS: This is a case report of a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral GRTs and associated retinal detachment. The tear in the right eye was supero-temporal and silicone oil was used as an endotamponade. The tear in the left eye was infero-temporal and perfluorocarbon liquid was used as an endotamponade.
RESULTS: The outcome at 6 months after surgery was excellent with visual acuities of 6/6 in both eyes.
CONCLUSION: Improved availability of endotamponade agents allows repair of bilateral GRTs to be done at the same time, with good surgical outcomes.
