Abstract:
Background:To determine the visual and anatomical outcomes after rhegmatogenous retinal
detachment surgery.
Methods:Case files of patients who had surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment at the
3rd state central hospital May 2019 and May 2021 were reviewed. Information obtained included
age, sex, presenting and post-operative visual acuity, anatomical reattachment, post- operative
complications and causes of treatment failure.
Results:Risk factors for retinal detachment included myopia in 8 eyes (32%), trauma in 7 eyes
(28%), prior cataract surgery in 2 eyes (8%). 22 eyes (88%) presented with macula off while 3 eyes
(12%) presented with macula partly or completely attached. Visual acuity at presentation was
<0.01 in 15 eyes (60%). Following surgery, retina was attached in 23 eyes (92%) and remained
detached 2 eyes (8%). Visual acuity after surgery was 0.1< 17 eyes, 0.4< 7 eyes. Visual acuity
improved in 23 eyes (84%), remained the same in 2 eyes (8%).
Conclusion:Myopia and trauma are important risk factors for Rhegmatogenous Retinal
Detachment. Majority of patients in this setting presented late with Rhegmatogenous Retinal
Detachment and this was responsible for relatively poor visual outcomes despite good anatomical
results after surgery. Proper screening of eyes at risk and education of patients is important for
preventing visual loss due to retinal detachment.
