Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim : To study the risk factors and clinical features of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment Material & Methods: An observational study was conducted among 50 patients who were diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment attending the retina OPD. Evaluation of patients consisted of detailed history pertaining to the risk factors for retinal detachment and ophthalmic examination. Observation & Results: The most important risk factor for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was blunt trauma-28% followed by lattice degeneration-18%, myopia and cataract surgery-16%. 88% of cases had retinal detachment with macula off. The break was mostly single-46% and horse shoe in type-34% Conclusion: The results of the study highlighted that blunt ocular trauma is the most important risk factor for development of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Majority of patients showed retinal detachment with macula off. The macula off patients was higher in our study than in studies conducted in developed countries, which could be due to delayed presentation.
