Purpose: Evaluation of early and long-term results of retinal detachments operated in the recent years.
Material And Methods: 99 eyes of 98 patients were examined. The conventional methods of retinal detachment surgery have been applied, mostly (above 75%) encirclement with subretinal fluid drainage.
Results: Anatomical reattachment was applied in 81.8% of cases, but after follow-up, meanly 2.5 years this percent was 66.2% in the majority of cases functional results were also good; in 18.5% of the eyes with anatomical reatachment visual acuity did not improve.
Conclusion: Encirclement of the eyeball with subretinal fluid drainage is the basic and the most useful method of surgical treatment in most cases of retinal detachment.

Metamorphopsia after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Improvements in surgical techniques have led to 90% success in the surgical repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). However, anatomical reattachment of the retina does not ensure complete recovery of visual function. The incidence of metamorphopsia remains the most common postoperative complaint, from 24% to 88.

Byers Eye Institute at Stanford Health Care, Palo Alto, California. Electronic address:
Objective: To compare the rate of cataract surgery complications in patients with and without prior intravitreal injection (IVI) pharmacotherapy.
Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed using the TriNetX (Cambridge, MA) aggregated electronic health records research network.
Subjects: Patients with a history of IVI therapy within twenty years of cataract surgery were compared to a control group using propensity score matching (PSM) to balance for baseline demographics, systemic, and ocular co-morbidities.

R. China, No.251 Fu Kang Road, Nankai District, Tianjin 300384, P. R. China. Electronic address:
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a major cause of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair failure. Despite many attempts to find therapeutics for PVR, no pharmacotherapy has been proven effective. Steroids, as the epitome, show uncertain clinical effectiveness, which lacks an explanation and hints at unappreciated mechanisms of PVR.

Choroidal thickness and vascular density after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Acta Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Stavanger University Hospital, Stavanger, Norway.
Purpose: To study choroidal thickness (CT) and luminal areas of choroidal vessels in the setting of fovea-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: Twenty-seven eyes with RRD were prospectively studied before and after pars plana vitrectomy and SF6 tamponade, using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). CT was measured pre- and postoperatively both subfoveally and in attached macular areas.
