Purpose: To present contemporary information regarding the continued inability to reliably predict visual acuity following successful retinal reattachment surgery.
Methods: Literature review.
Results: Anatomical results of surgery for retinal detachment continue to be far superior to visual results.
Evidence-based analysis of prophylactic treatment of asymptomatic retinal breaks and lattice degeneration.
Ophthalmology
January 2000
Department of Ophthalmology, The Greater Baltimore Medical Center and The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Maryland, USA.
Purpose: To assess the quality of information in the literature regarding the benefits of prophylactic treatment of asymptomatic retinal tears and lattice degeneration.
Clinical Relevance: Asymptomatic retinal breaks occur in approximately 7% of patients over age 40, and lattice degeneration is present in approximately 8% of the general population. Because retinal breaks cause retinal detachment and lattice degeneration is associated with approximately 30% of retinal detachments, prophylactic treatment of these lesions has sometimes been recommended.
