“…Rates of 85 to 95% have been achieved. 25,26 However, in our study although 29% were aphakics, surgical reattachment was obtained in 96,4% of cases. Similarly, 4o to 50% of patients with macular detachment achieve acuity of 20/50 or better postoperatively.…”

“…Visual loss could be either assigned to rearranged/misalignment of retinal receptors and in complete regeneration of retinal receptors. 26 Traditionally, aphakia has been associated with a signifi cant reduction in anatomic success. Rates of 85 to 95% have been achieved.…”

Introduction:Retinal diseases are one of the important causes of blindness in Nepal. This study is done with objectives of fi nding the outcome of retinal detachment surgery. Methods:A retrospective analysis of 110 patients who underwent retinal detachment surgery over fi ve year period was conducted in Nepal.Results:Retinal re-attachment was achieved in 94.4 % and postoperative visual acuity of 6/36 to 6/6 was achieved in 52.7% (As possible risk factors, myopia was present in 34.5% ophkia in 29%, trauma in 9%, and lattice) degeneration was 5.4%. Conclusions:The study has shown a promising result for the retinal detachment surgery.Key Words: retinal break, retinal detachment, scleral buckling, vitrectomy

“…The result of these processes is creation of retinal breaks and increased likelihood of subsequent retinal detachment. The retinal breaks are generally tractional breaks, horseshoe tears; they tend to be located at the posterior vitreous base and are more frequent in the superior temporal quadrant [37,[41][42][43][44].…”
