We retrospectively evaluated the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of 20 pseudophakic retinal detachment (RD) patients (20 eyes) and 17 aphakic RD patients (17 eyes). Males were predominated in both groups. The time interval between cataract extraction and RD was 31 months on average in the pseudophakic group, 32 months with intact posterior capsule and 27 months with ruptured post...

AIMS To estimate the risk of retinal detachment (RD) following cataract extraction in Denmark, and to compare the risk with that following cataract extraction in the USA, and with that in a sample of Danish patients who did not have ocular surgery. METHODS A sample was created from the administrative Danish Hospital Register and included 19,252 patients who underwent first eye cataract surger...

A frequent point of debate between refractive and retinal surgeons is the risk of pseudophakic retinal detachment (RD) in highly myopic eyes, defined as eyes with an axial length greater than 26 mm (sometimes even exceeding 30 mm) and usually with a spherical equivalent superior to e6.00 D. This degree of myopia is mostly associated with degenerative changes that involve sclera, choroid, retina...

Purpose: To evaluate postoperative outcomes between pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and posterior episcleral buckle procedure (PEBP) in myopic eyes with retinal detachment (RD) and macular hole (MH). Design: Retrospective nonrandomized comparative interventional trial. Participants and Intervention: The study included 30 phakic, highly myopic eyes (from 19–30 negative diopters) of 30 patients with ...

BACKGROUND Retinal detachment (RD) following ocular trauma often results in guarded visual prognosis and sometimes leads to loss of the eye. With the advent of microincisional vitrectomy surgery and the development of surgical techniques, the management of ocular trauma has been transformed. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old man sustained an open globe injury from fragmented glass at work. He r...

Is it retinal detachment? While most often the diagnosis of retinal detachment is straightforward, there could be confusion on occasions. Conditions that can be confused with retinal detachment are retinal oedema (as in Berlin’s oedema), retinoschisis, choroidal detachment, thick vitreous membranes (as in Uveitis), altered blood, etc. Evaluation should include careful slit lamp biomicroscopy, i...

BACKGROUND Retinal detachment (RD) secondary to macular hole (MH) is a common complication in highly myopic eyes, usually leading to a poor visual prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcome of silicone oil (SO) tamponade and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in the treatment of RD caused by MH (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes with chorioretinal atrophy, and to ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used in treating peripheral retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) with satisfactory results. We report a rare case of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease with three large peripheral RCHs, treated with PDT and intravitreal bevacizumab injection (IVB), who developed persistent bullous exudative retinal detachment (RD) despite significant tumor regression. The patient ...
