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.
