PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence of retinal detachment (RD) after cataract surgery performed by phacoemulsification in very highly myopic eyes. DESIGN Retrospective, paired-eye, case-control trial. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION We assessed the development of RD in 930 eyes from 930 subjects (mean age = 62.5 +/- 8.5 years) affected by very high myopia (between -15 and -30 diopters) undergoi...

purpose: to present a case of bilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopthy (icsc) complicated by bullous serous retinal detachment (rd). case report: a 26-year old female suffered from acute loss of vision in the both eyes. best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was 1/10 ou. the examination of anterior segment was unremarkable and a mild vitreous reaction was noted. dilated fundus exami...

BACKGROUND Development of retinal detachment models in small animals can be difficult and expensive. Here we create and characterize a novel, cone-rich retinal detachment (RD) model in the chick. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Retinal detachments were created in chicks between postnatal days 7 and 21 by subretinal injections of either saline (SA) or hyaluronic acid (HA). Injections were perfo...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling surgery with and without retinopexy in the management of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rd). methods: in this retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series, data of 71 phakic eyes of 71 patients with rhegmatogenous rd that had undergone scleral buckling were evaluated. the procedure in 41 consecuti...

“Treatment of retinal detachment associated with retinal holes should not be urged except in only eyes as a last clutch at a straw of hope”. These lines by Lister from 1927 and the famous survey by Vail a decade prior (1912), which found a success rate of retinal detachment (RD) as 1 in 1000 speaks for themselves, suggest a grave prognosis for RD. Although the current success rate in managing u...

Retinal detachment surgery has been considered an inpatient hospital procedure requiring preoperative and postoperative hospitalization. In this pilot study, outpatient retinal detachment surgery was performed on sixteen patients and the results (100% success rate after an average follow-up of 8.3 months) were comparable or better than reported overall success rates for retinal detachment ...

Retinal detachment (RD) describes a separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). The RPE is essential for normal function of the light sensitive neurons, the photoreceptors. Detachment of the retina from the RPE creates a physical gap that is filled with extracellular fluid. RD initiates cellular and molecular adverse events that affect both the neurosensor...

PURPOSE To establish an experimental mouse model of retinal detachment (RD) created by corneal puncture (CP). METHODS Mouse corneas were punctured with a 30.5-gauge beveled needle, and the anterior chamber was penetrated. Histologic and functional changes of the retina were examined by light microscopy and electroretinography (ERG). Certain retinal cellular responses were examined by immunofl...

BACKGROUND Retinal detachment is an ocular emergency posing diagnostic difficulty for the emergency practitioner. Direct fundoscopy and visual field testing are difficult to perform and do not completely rule out retinal detachment. Ophthalmologists use ocular ultrasound to enhance their clinical acumen in detecting retinal detachments (RD), and bedside ultrasound capability is readily availabl...
