Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a sight-threatening condition with rising global incidence. Identifying factors contributing to seasonal variations in RRD would allow a better understanding...
There have been disparate outcomes in the few studies that have looked at anatomic success and visual acuity (VA) in chronic retinal rhegmatogenous detachment (RRD) repair. Chronic retinal detachments...
After obtaining Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, patients who had undergone surgical intervention for all diagnosis codes of RD were identified in the Denver Health Medical Center database. ...
The average patient age was 53.8 years. The length of RRD duration ranged from 30 to 365 days (mean 136.7 days). Twenty-six (70.3% patients had proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade C or greater...
Chronic macula-off RD with a PVD should be identified as it is associated with much lower rates of initial re-attachment. Socioeconomic factors likely are the driving factor for patients with PVD-type...
To validate Lincoff's rules (LRs) in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in the pediatric age group and to identify factors in cases LR was not followed....
This was a retrospective study where 98 pediatric patients with RRD were identified through surgery records. Forty case sheets with complete record of ocular examination and surgical findings were ana...
The median age of the study participants was 11 years ranging from 5 to 18 years. There were 35 (88%) boys and 5 (12%) girls in the study. Myopia was noted in 13 (33%) eyes and in 21 (53%) eyes, there...
LRs fail to accurately identify the exact location of the retinal break due to its posterior location and absence of posterior vitreous detachment in most cases with pediatric RRDs....
To present a case series of retinal detachments associated with the use of pilocarpine for presbyopia....
Multicenter case series of 3 eyes from 2 patients....
Patient 1, a 47-year-old man, presented with flashes and floaters in both eyes. The patient had started pilocarpine 1.25% drops 1 month prior for presbyopia in both eyes. He noted the onset of flashes...
Pilocarpine and other miotics have long been suspected to be associated with an increased risk of retinal detachment. Prior to prescribing pilocarpine for presbyopia, physicians should inform patients...
Ocular strabismus, a common condition in the present generation is an absolute risk factor for amblyopia and blinding premorbid visual loss. Despite the availability of new optometry tools with eye-tr...
To demonstrate the clinical features and natural course of chronic retinal detachment-associated neovascular glaucoma....
Ten patients, diagnosed with chronic retinal detachment-associated neovascular glaucoma during 2007-2016 were retrospectively investigated. Besides chronic retinal detachment, no patients had any neov...
The mean age of patients was 57.5 years (range, 22-78 years). Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in three eyes, while partial or total chronic retinal detachment persisted in seven eyes. Wide-...
In eyes with a chronic retinal detachment history, iris neovascularization and neovascular glaucoma can develop due to retinal capillary obstruction and chronic retinal ischemia, even after achieving ...
To assess clinical outcomes in elderly patients aged ≥ 75 years who underwent pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD)....
Retrospective cohort study....
Patients aged ≥ 75 years with primary RRD undergoing PnR....
This study evaluates clinical outcomes among eligible patients who presented from October 1, 2010, to December 31, 2022, with a minimum of 3 months' follow-up. There were no limitations with respect t...
Pneumatic retinopexy primary anatomic reattachment rate and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months....
Eighty patients with a mean age of 80.6 ± 4.6 years were included in this study; 35% (28/80) were phakic and 34% (27/80) presented with a fovea-on RRD. The mean number of breaks in the detached retina...
Elderly patients treated with PnR for primary RRD had relatively comparable primary anatomic reattachment rates with other surgical techniques such as pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckle. Pneumat...
The authors have no proprietary or commercial interest in any materials discussed in this article....
The incidence of retinal folds following surgical repair of retinal detachment is underestimated. The extent of retinal folds is variable and can include the complete retina with all layers and an app...
A 40-year-old male presented with decreased vision following trauma from a stone. The view of the posterior segment was precluded due to cortex material. Ocular ultrasonography detected total retinal ...
Stickler syndrome is the most common inherited cause of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The purpose of this study was to survey pediatric retinal surgeon preferences for prophylactic trea...
A voluntary, anonymous 27-question survey was developed by RedCap and distributed to the Association of Pediatric Retinal Surgeons. The survey was distributed on March 17, 2021. Results were tabulated...
Thirty-four (76% response rate) respondents completed the survey. Twenty-six (76%) reported primarily using prophylactic laser retinopexy, four (12%) preferred use of cryotherapy, and 12% reported usi...
The majority of the United States. and international pediatric retinal surgeons use laser retinopexy as the primary method of prophylactic treatment. These results may serve as a benchmark for retinal...
