    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bilateral retinal detachment is more common in non-traumatic cases, especially in myopic patients with lattice degeneration. This finding impacts risk assessment for the fellow eye in retinal detachment patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Ocular Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Phakic retinal detachment (RD) affects a significant number of patients.
    • Understanding risk factors for bilateral RD is crucial for patient management and prognosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with bilateral retinal detachment.
    • To analyze the influence of refractive error and lattice degeneration on bilaterality and fellow eye detachment risk.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 850 phakic retinal detachment patients.
    • Classification of patients based on refractive error (myopic vs. nonmyopic) and presence of lattice degeneration.
    • Calculation of bilaterality rates and annual risks for fellow eye detachment.

    Main Results:

    • Overall bilaterality rate was 11.6%, higher in non-traumatic (13.4%) than traumatic (3.8%) RD.
    • In non-traumatic RD, bilaterality increased with myopia and lattice degeneration, reaching 24.6% in myopic patients with lattice degeneration.
    • Mean age at onset was significantly lower in myopic patients with lattice degeneration (28.2 years).
    • Annual risk of fellow eye detachment varied significantly across groups, with myopic patients without lattice degeneration having the highest risk (1.3%).

    Conclusions:

    • Myopia and lattice degeneration are significant risk factors for bilateral retinal detachment.
    • Lattice degeneration appears to shorten the interval between detachments.
    • Risk stratification for fellow eye detachment is essential, particularly for myopic patients with lattice degeneration.
