Retinal detachment surgery in Nepal shows promising outcomes, with a high success rate for re-attachment and significant improvement in visual acuity for over half of the patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Retinal diseases are a significant cause of blindness in Nepal.
  • Understanding surgical outcomes is crucial for managing these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of retinal detachment surgery.
  • To identify potential risk factors associated with retinal detachment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 110 patients.
  • Surgery performed over a five-year period in Nepal.

Main Results:

  • Successful retinal re-attachment achieved in 94.4% of cases.
  • Postoperative visual acuity of 6/36 to 6/6 attained in 52.7% of patients.
  • Identified risk factors included myopia (34.5%), aphakia (29%), trauma (9%), and lattice degeneration (5.4%).
