Retinal detachments occuring in atopic dermatitis patients are usually associated with tears of peripheral retina or nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body or retinal dialysis.

We experienced a case of atopic dermatitis with retinal detachment of right eye caused by giant retinal tear and retinal tear of left eye in 23-year-old male, we could obtain successful result by treating his right eye with scleral buckling procedure and intravitreal gas injeciton.
