Abstract

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a frequent clinical challenge affecting approximately 1/200 people over the course of a lifetime. 1 An RRD is one of the most common indications for vitreoretinal surgery and such surgical repair is one of the most cost-effective practices in the treatment of vitreoretinal disorders. 2, 3 Despite this, some asymptomatic chronic RRDs may be observed and may not progress. 4, 5.
