Abstract
A clinical analysis was done for 51 eyes of 50 retinal detachment patients, who operated in the Depart of Ophthalmology, Chungnam National University Hospital during last 3 years. The results were as follows: 1) The maximum incidence of detachment in this study occurred between the ages of 51 and 60 years (30 %), and the next over the age of 61 years (22 %), that was somewhat different comparing with other reports in Korea. Men were more common than women. 2) Of all retinal breaks, the round holes were most common (47.1 %), followed by dialyses (27.5 %) and horse-shoe tears(19.6 %) before the ages of 30 years, cases with disinsertions were frequently observed with trauma 3) The over aU success rate of retinal detachment surgery was 74.5 %. There was no effect on the success rate by the shapes and numbers of the retinal breaks. The shorter the duration. the better the preoperative vision, and the samller the extents of detached area showed the better success rate. 4) The most frequent and main causes of failure were massive vitreous retraction and giant tears. 5) No complications of silicon rubber was observed in the operated eyes, such as foreign body reaction or invasion into the globe after surgery.
