| Résumé: | Copyright 2015, SLACK Incorporated. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: While copious data exist regarding the incidence, treatment, and prognosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), fewer data exist regarding bilateral RRD PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors performed a retrospective review of patients with sequential bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachments over a 5-year period from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2014, that were repaired at a single institution. Data were reviewed for 80 eyes of 40 patients, which is the largest series of sequential RRD reported RESULTS: In patients with sequential RRD, the subsequently affected eyes were more likely to present with better initial visual acuity, shorter duration of symptoms, less macula-off status, and less concurrent proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The subsequent eye had better final visual acuity and was less likely to re-detach. Subsequent eyes tended to progress to RRD despite prophylactic retinopexy CONCLUSION: The constellation of baseline characteristics in which subsequent eyes presented with better initial visual acuity, shorter duration of symptoms, less macula-detached status, and less concurrent proliferative vitreoretinopathy when compared to the initial eye correspond with the findings that subsequent eyes had more successful anatomical and better visual outcomes |
