    Small horseshoe tears cause most aphakic retinal detachments. Lattice degeneration in aphakic eyes can lead to additional nonlattice tractional breaks alongside lattice breaks.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal research

    Background:

    • Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a complex condition.
    • Understanding the specific types and locations of retinal breaks is crucial for surgical success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the frequency and location of retinal breaks in primary nontraumatic RRD.
    • To compare break patterns in phakic (natural lens present) and aphakic (natural lens absent) eyes.
    • To analyze break characteristics in eyes with and without lattice degeneration.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of consecutive cases of RRD.
    • Categorization of retinal breaks into lattice and nonlattice types.
    • Classification of eyes as phakic or aphakic.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Small horseshoe tears at the posterior vitreous base were the most common cause (44.1%) of aphakic nonlattice RRD.
    • Aphakic RRD associated with lattice degeneration showed a higher incidence of nonlattice tractional breaks in addition to lattice breaks.

    Conclusions:

    • The location and type of retinal breaks vary significantly between phakic and aphakic eyes.
    • Lattice degeneration influences the pattern of retinal breaks in aphakic RRD.
    • Identifying specific break characteristics is vital for effective RRD management.
