“…It was observed that macula-on eyes had a higher BCVA on their last follow-up rate when compared to macula-off. This is consistent with the findings of Dhami et al where macula-on eyes were also associated with a higher SOS rate [ 13 ]. Furthermore, the location of breaks also seems to have a role to play as superior breaks had better SOS rate when compared to inferior breaks.…”

“…However, the benefits of PR in the initial management of RRD when compared to techniques such as SB and PPV are well-known among vitreoretinal surgeons. The findings of this study strengthen this notion observed in this part of the world [ 13 ]. The success rate for PR originally reported by Hilton and Grizzard [ 1 ] was 90%.…”

“…We hypothesize that part of the explanation was that surgeons were more prone to taking patients to the OR when the fovea was off, thus ensuring a PR failure in those cases. Several characteristics such as myopia, phakic status [30] , days to presentation [31] , and age have been described as risk factors for anatomic failure of PR. Interestingly, in our study these factors did not increase the risk of failure for PR.…”

“…Moreover, when the retinal hole is larger, the contact arc width of the bubble cannot fill the entire hole. Despite these limitations, failed pneumatic retinopexy has not been shown to affect PPV outcomes [ 12 , 17 , 18 ].…”
