Stickler syndrome is a relatively rare condition (approximately 1 in 10,000), caused by a defective collagen gene and characterised by high myopia, high risk of retinal detachment and flattened facial features. An outline of the condition, its systemic and ocular manifestations and optometric management are described.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates risk factors for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a common complication after retinal detachment surgery.
- A large patient database was analyzed, identifying systemic (like age, gender, and smoking) and ocular (such as trauma and previous eye conditions) factors that correlate with increased PVR risk.
- The findings emphasize the importance of considering these risk factors in surgical planning and treatment to prevent PVR in patients with retinal detachment.

Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Secondary to Type I Stickler Syndrome: Diagnosis, Treatment and Long-Term Outcomes.
Genes (Basel)
November 2024
Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200031, China.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the genetic diagnosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) secondary to type I Stickler syndrome (STL1) and evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical treatment.
Methods: This retrospective study included 11 patients with RRD secondary to STL1. Familial and sporadic cases of STL1 were diagnosed at the Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, between 2017 and 2023.
Elevated intraocular pressure in a child with Stickler syndrome after scleral buckle surgery for retinal detachment.

December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami-Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida. Electronic address:
Stickler syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder, presents with a broad spectrum of ocular manifestations, including myopia, vitreoretinal degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. While extensive data exists on the treatment outcomes of retinal detachment repair in Stickler syndrome, the potential risks associated with acute postoperative intraocular pressure elevation remain underexplored. We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with Stickler syndrome who underwent scleral buckling surgery and subsequently experienced ocular hypertension.
