Aim: This study is the fi rst examination of the incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia. Method:Study is a retrospective and analyzed documentation from the Retinal clinic of the Ophthalmology and Optometry Department of the General Hospital Dubrovnik.The annual incidence was calculated and analyzed in relation to sex, age, diagnosis year, affected eye, and visual acuity on diagnosis, visual acuity after therapy, type of therapy, localization of retinal detachment, risk factors, second eye rupture, redetachment, and presence of comorbidity.Results: This study presents 92 examiners (94 eyes) who were in the period 1.1.2004 to 31.12.2013 diagnosed with the RRD. The youngest patient was 24 years old and the oldest 86 years. The largest number of cases was in the older age groups (61-70 years), at the age 60 to 80 there were 54 patients (57. 45%). The average age of all patients was 61.14 years.The average annual number of patients was 9.4. Surgical procedure vitrectomy was performed for 82 (87.23%) patients, 8 (8.5%) had an operation with conventional ablation with cerclage and sealing, and 4 of them (4.27%) did not undergo surgery, due to high level of retinal detachment or older age, comorbidity and high risk of general anesthesia. Conclusion:The incidence of RRD in this study shows 7.65 on 100, 000 residents of DubrovnikNeretva County, and it is found to increase last years (2013 was 21 RRD) and in associations with myopia, cataract surgery and trauma.

“…Van de Put et al [16] aus den Niederlanden fanden sogar eine noch höhere Inzidenz von 53 pro 100.000 in der Altersgruppe zwischen 55 und 59 Jahren. Es wird postuliert, dass das Risiko für eine rhegmatogene Netzhautablösung bei über 60-Jährigen gegenüber einer normalsichtigen Kohorte unter 30 Jahren bis zu 20-fach erhöht ist [17,18]. Einschränkend ist zu erwähnen, dass auch im Risikokollektiv der über 60-Jährigen deutliche geografische Unterschiede in den Inzidenzangaben bestehen [1].…”

“…While some reports indicate a sex distribution corresponding with that of the general population, most indicate a male preponderance [2][3][4][5][6] . This may be related to an inherent gender risk, though an increased rate of ocular trauma may be contributory.…”

Retinal detachment is a potentially blinding condition. It is caused by separation of neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Despite treatment advances, functional results remain poor (with only 42% achieving 6/12 vision and only 28% if the macula is involved). There are three distinct types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous (RRD), tractional and exudative. For the purpose of this chapter we will focus on RRD.RRD demonstrates wide geographical variation with incidence reported between 6.3 and 17.9 per 100, 000¹ with 7300 new cases estimated annually in the UK² . Risk factors include myopia, increasing age and certain vitreoretinal conditions. Horseshoe tears, giant tears and round holes have been shown the most common along with lattice degeneration .Vitreoretinal traction is responsible for most RRD. As the vitreous becomes syneretic (liquefied) with age, a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs. In most cases, the vitreous separates from the retina without any sequelae. However, in certain eyes, strong vitreoretinal adhesions are present and the occurrence of a PVD can lead to a retinal tear; then, fluid from the liquefied vitreous can enter the sub-retinal space through the tear, leading to a retinal detachment.Several studies have investigated the epidemiology and risk factors associated with RRD.
