OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of retinal detachment (RD) operations in a multiracial Southeast Asian population. DESIGN Population-based incidence study using a universal medical savings database in Singapore. METHODS Information on all RD operations performed for rhegmatogenous RD (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code 361.0) between 19...

PURPOSE Retinal detachments (RDs), a separation of the light-sensitive tissue of the retina from its supporting layers in the posterior eye, isolate retinal cells from their normal supply of nourishment and can lead to their deterioration and death. We identified a new, spontaneous murine model of exudative retinal detachment, nm3342 (new mutant 3342, also referred to as rpea1: retinal pigment ...

OBJECTIVE To document the spontaneous resolution of retinal detachment developing after macular hole surgery. METHODS We identified all patients who developed a postoperative retinal detachment after undergoing macular hole surgery at Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Mo; the surgery was performed by one of us (L.V.D.P. or H.J.K.) between 1991 and 1996. RESULTS Six of 73 e...

Purpose: To compare the adverse events after the use of 2 conventional methods of magnetic intravitreal foreign body (IVFB) extraction and to identify the prognostic factors in a series of patients with retained IVFB. Design: Retrospective comparative interventional case series. Participants: Seventy-one eyes of 71 patients with IVFB undergoing foreign body extraction. Methods: A retrospective ...

purpose: to evaluate the clinical features, and functional and anatomical outcomes of surgical intervention for pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rrd). methods: in this retrospective case series, pediatric patients with rrd who had undergone surgical intervention were included. cases were categorized into five main etiological groups: congenital or developmental (48 eyes), traumatic ...

IMPORTANCE Several studies have focused on the current use of oral fluoroquinolones and the risk for retinal detachment (RD), but the existence of this association is under debate. Given the widespread fluoroquinolone use, investigation of this association is essential. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between oral fluoroquinolone use and the risk for RD, including the rhegmatogenous and e...

PURPOSE To determine the rates, predisposing factors, and visual outcomes of retinal detachment (RD) after Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro) implantation. METHODS In this noncomparative, interventional case series, the medical records of 170 patients (205 eyes) who underwent Boston type 1 and type 2 KPro implantation at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary between April 1993 and June 2009 wer...

PURPOSE To evaluate the causes of retinal detachment after silicone oil removal, to define possible risk factors and the anatomical and functional prognosis of this complication. METHODS 112 eyes that underwent silicone oil removal were included. The group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal (18/112 eyes, 16.1%) was compared with the group with no postoperative retinal detachmen...

purpose:  to evaluate the significance of the presence of pigment granules in  the anterior  vitreous as a reliable indicator of retinal breaks in patients with acute symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment  (pvd) . methods: this cross sectional study included 209 phakic patients with acute symptomatic pvd. the patients underwent anterior vitreous examination and fundoscopy. patients with dia...

Objective The aim of the study was to investigate changes of brain neural homogeneity in retinal detachment (RD) patients using the regional homogeneity (ReHo) method to understand their relationships with clinical features. Materials and methods A total of 30 patients with RD (16 men and 14 women), and 30 healthy controls (HCs) (16 men and 14 women) closely matched in age and sex were recrui...
