Background: The goal was to review the visual and anatomical outcome of scleral buckling for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment at a tertiary eye care center in Nigeria between January 1994 and December 2000.
Material/methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive case series of all eyes that had undergone scleral buckling over a 7-year study period. Data collected from the case notes included duration of symptoms, visual acuity at presentation and 3 and 6 months post-op, clinical presentation of the detachments, risk factors for retinal detachment, the surgical procedure done, anatomical outcome at discharge and at 3 and 6 months post-op, and intra-op and post-op complications.
