Abstract

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is elevation of the retina from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) by clear,accumulated fluid in the subretinal space associated with retinal break(s) or predisposingretinal lesions. The RRD often extends to the ora early with convex borders; the fluid is gravity dependent. The surface appears corrugated and undulated.
