Clinical Characteristics and Surgical Outcomes of the Fellow Eye in Bilateral Retinal Detachments

Overview

To assess the clinical features and the surgical outcomes of RD repair surgery of the fellow eye in bilateral retinal detachments

Bilateral retinal detachment is a rare but sight-threatening disease, that can cause blindness and poor quality of life. It has been proved that patients who suffer from RD in one eye have a considerably increased risk to subsequently develop an RD in the fellow eye. It can be expected that patients who experienced a RD in one eye, tend to present sooner when experiencing a RD in the fellow eye, and thus have a greater visual and/or anatomical prognosis. In this study, we aim to describe characteristics of bilateral RD and compare the initial and subsequent eye in terms of clinical preoperative features, surgical management, and anatomical and visual results.
