“…They found blunt ocular trauma in 70 eyes (16.2 %). The most common locations for retinal breaks due to trauma are inferotemporal and superonasal (Cox MS 1976, Hagler WS 1968, whereas we had 2 cases each of supero-nasal and inferior location.…”

Introduction: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a potentially blinding condition.Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcome of surgery of RRD. Materials and methods:A prospective study of interventional case series was designed including 50 consecutive patients with RRD in a tertiary level eye center in Kathmandu. The patients underwent scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) according to the proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) changes. All the patients had at least 3 months of follow-up. The anatomical and physiological outcome measures were primary retinal reattachment and improvement in visual acuity respectively. The surgery was considered successful when there was attachment of retina after the first surgery. Results:The mean age of these patients at the time of presentation was 46.24 ± 19.82 years. Of 50, sixty-six percent of the patients underwent SB and 34 % underwent PPV. Primary surgical success rate was 88 %. While comparing the initial best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with the final, 72% had an improvement, 12 % unchanged and 16 % had a deteriorated visual acuity. Conclusion:The visual acuity improves and the anatomical success rate is high in the majority of the patients after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

“…2,3 Retinal dialyses is the cause of the detachment in 10% of cases and is usually unilateral. 4 Bilateral retinal dialysis occurs in 3.5-7.7% of cases and bilateral inferotemporal dialysis in 1.5-5.6% of the total cases. 5,6 We would like to report a similar case of bilateral retinal detachments with retinal dialyses, which was asymptomatic and had intraretinal macrocysts bilaterally.…”

“…3 Retinal dialysis is often unilateral, and accounts for 10% of all rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. 4 The incidence of simultaneous bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to retinal dialysis is very low. In one series, bilateral involvements were seen in 7.7% of all dialyses and only 5.6% of the total cases had bilateral inferotemporal retinal dialysis, 5 comparable to another series with incidence of bilaterality (3.5%) and bilateral inferotemporal dialysis (1.5%).…”

“…6 A history of trauma is often elicited in these patients, with most dialyses seen in the superonasal quadrant, while in eyes with inferotemporal dialysis a history and objective evidence of ocular trauma is less likely to be found. [4][5][6] Compared to unilateral cases, the eyes with bilateral involvement were less likely to have trauma.…”
