A method for treatment of retinal detachments caused by macular holes or by holes at the posterior pole of the eye is presented. A simple silver clasp is sutured on the sclera. The silver clasp usually is well tolerated for many month and has remained on several eyes for more than 4 years, nevertheless removal of the instrument 6 months after the primary operation is advised. Lasting indentation by the clasp is provided by an additional encircling silicon band. In 10 out of 11 cases of a total or subtotal retinal detachment caused by a hole at the posterior pole, the retina could be reattached; in one case of massive pre-retinal retraction the puckering focus was successfully tamponed. The method is especially suited for the treatment of detachments in globes with posterior staphylomas.
