Two patients with acute retinal necrosis were treated with vitrectomy,
intravitreal infusion of acyclovir, and prophylactic scleral buckling
procedures. Both patients have had a uneventful postoperative course and a
recovery of visual acuity; follow-up has been at five and 14 months. There
has been no sign of toxicity from the intravitreally administered acyclovir
by electroretinographic or clinical criteria.
