PEDIATRIC RETINAL DETACHMENT IN AN ASIAN POPULATION WITH HIGH PREVALENCE OF MYOPIA: Clinical Characteristics, Surgical Outcomes, and Prognostic Factors
Conclusion:
Myopia was the commonest risk factor for pediatric RD in our population. Good anatomical and functional outcome can be achieved with surgery. Increasing age at presentation and absence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy was associated with anatomical and functional success. High myopia was associated with poorer anatomical and functional outcome.
