Abstract

Authors presented the statistical analysis for 81 patients of Retinal Detachment observed at Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University Hospital, for the last 3 years.
1) Male had the preponderance over the female in frequency and the peak was at 20-40 age group.
2) Patient´s chief complaint was mainly the decreased visual acuity, and only 33% of patients was seen within 2 weeks after onset, and 75. 6% had the visual acuity under 0. 2.
3) The intraocular pressure of affected eyes was hypotensive in 63. 7% of the cases.
4) The extent of detachment was limited the one S half of the retin a in 62% of the eyes.
5) The site of retinal breaks was mostly at the temporal half of the retina and located from ora to equator, and horseshoe shaped tear was more prevalent.
6) The traumatic cases were more frequent in the etiology of retinal detachment.
7) The better result was obtained after retinal reattachment operation in the following grouts.
a. 21-40. age group
b. within 2 weeks of duration
c. visual acuity over 0. 2
d. extent of detachment less than one halt of the retina
e. dialysis or hole in retinal breaks
f. retinal break between ora and equator
g. cases that the retinal breaks were found
h. primary operation
8) The visual acuity was significantly improved in cases of successful reattachment and vitreous opacity was the most frequent pest operative complication.
