Characteristics of Bilateral Retinal Detachment

Conclusion: Patients with bilateral RD were more common male and younger than the group of all RD patients. The proportion of pseudophakia was not different. The majority of fellow eye RD occurred within two years after the RD in the first eye. Second eye RD was less advanced and had a better anatomical repair rate. Des pite their experience in the first eye and despite typical symptoms patients presented only after in mean 12 days with RD in the second eye. RD in the initial and the subsequent eye showed a high symmetry. The anatomic result in the first eye is not a predictor for the anatomic results in the subseq uent eye.
