RESUMO
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a sight-threatening condition with rising global incidence. Identifying factors contributing to seasonal variations in RRD would allow a better understanding of RRD pathophysiology. We therefore performed a retrospective case series study investigating the relationship between RRD occurrence and meteorological factors throughout metropolitan France (the METEO-POC study), particularly the mean temperature over the preceding 10-day period (T-1). Adult patients having undergone RRD surgery and residing in one of the three most populated urban areas of each French region were included (January 2011-December 2018). The study involved 21,166 patients with idiopathic RRD (61.1% males, mean age 59.8-65.1 years). RRD incidence per 100,000 inhabitants increased from 7.79 to 11.81. RRD occurrence was not significantly associated with mean temperature over T-1 in the majority of urban areas (31/36). In a minority of areas (5/36) we observed correlations between RRD incidence and mean temperature over T-1, however these were extremely weak (r = 0.1-0.2; p < 0.05). No associations were found between RRD incidence and secondary outcomes: mean daily temperature over the 10 days prior T-1, minimum/maximum temperatures, rainfall, duration of sunshine, atmospheric pressure, overall radiation, relative humidity, wind speed. Overall, we found no relationships between meteorological parameters and RRD occurrence.

Importance: Fluoroquinolone use has been associated with increased risk of uveitis and retinal detachment in noninterventional studies, but the findings have been conflicting and causality is unclear. Objective: To estimate the association of systemic fluoroquinolone use with acute uveitis or retinal detachment, using multiple analyses and multiple databases to increase the robustness of results. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study used data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum and GOLD UK primary care records databases, which were linked to hospital admissions data. Adults prescribed a fluoroquinolone or a comparator antibiotic, cephalosporin, between April 1997 and December 2019 were included. Adults with uveitis or retinal detachment were analyzed in a separate self-controlled case series. Data analysis was performed from May 2022 to May 2023. Exposures: Systemic fluoroquinolone or comparator antibiotic. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was a diagnosis of acute uveitis or retinal detachment. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated in the cohort study for the association of fluoroquinolone prescription with either uveitis or retinal detachment, using stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighted Cox regression. Rate ratios (RRs) were estimated in the self-controlled case series, using conditional Poisson regression. Estimates were pooled across databases using fixed-effects meta-analysis. Results: In total, 3â¯001â¯256 individuals in Aurum (1â¯893â¯561 women [63.1%]; median [IQR] age, 51 [35-68] years) and 434â¯754 in GOLD (276â¯259 women [63.5%]; median [IQR] age, 53 [37-70] years) were included in the cohort study. For uveitis, the pooled adjusted HRs (aHRs) for use of fluoroquinolone vs cephalosporin were 0.91 (95% CI, 0.72-1.14) at first treatment episode and 1.07 (95% CI, 0.92-1.25) over all treatment episodes. For retinal detachment, the pooled aHRs were 1.37 (95% CI, 0.80-2.36) at first treatment episode and 1.18 (95% CI, 0.84-1.65) over all treatment episodes. In the self-controlled case series, for uveitis, the pooled adjusted RRs (aRRs) for fluoroquinolone use vs nonuse were 1.13 (95% CI, 0.97-1.31) for 1 to 29 days of exposure, 1.16 (95% CI, 1.00-1.34) for 30 to 59 days, and 0.98 (95% CI, 0.74-1.31) for 60 days for longer. For retinal detachment, pooled aRRs for fluoroquinolone use vs nonuse were 1.15 (95% CI, 0.86-1.54) for 1 to 29 days of exposure, 0.94 (95% CI, 0.69-1.30) for 30 to 59 days, and 1.03 (95% CI, 0.59-1.78) for 60 days or longer. Conclusions and Relevance: These findings do not support an association of systemic fluoroquinolone use with substantively increased risk of uveitis or retinal detachment. Although an association cannot be completely ruled out, these findings indicate that any absolute increase in risk would be small and, hence, of limited clinical importance.

PURPOSE: This nationwide study aims to delineate the incidence and trends of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rRD) in Germany across 17 years (2005-2021). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the German Federal Statistics Office and the Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System (InEK). The dataset includes approximately 19 million annual inpatient admissions annually. Retinal detachment was identified through ICD-10 code H33.0. Adjusted incidence rates were estimated after excluding reoperation cases. We used R Statistical Software to calculate estimates to 2021, and Tableau for visualisation. RESULTS: From 2005 to 2021, Germany reported 332,650 rRD cases, with males consistently more affected. Adjusted incidence rose from 15.6 per 100,000 in 2005 to 24.8 in 2021. Variable annual percentage changes in incidence were noted, averaging 4.0% for males and 2.6% for females. The annual mean age of affected individuals ranged from 60.2 to 62 years, with a median age between 62 and 63, suggesting increasing diagnoses at younger ages. Hospital stays declined from 6 to 3.3 days, and higher management rates were observed in Saarland and Rhineland-Palatine. CONCLUSION: The study confirms an increasing incidence of rRD in Germany from 2005 to 2021, particularly among males. These findings call for further research to investigate the underlying causes. Collaboration among healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers is essential for effective management and improved visual outcomes.

PURPOSE: The incidence of retinal displacement after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery is variable and its clinical consequences are unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence and clinical features of retinal displacement after RRD surgery by using ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging. METHODS: Retrospective observational study including all consecutive patients who underwent RRD surgery at the Rothschild Foundation Hospital. Postoperative data included the visual acuity and symptoms of visual impairment. Macular retinal displacement occurrence and its features were assessed and measured by using the autofluorescence images. RESULTS: A total of 123 eyes were included. UWF fundus autofluorescence revealed the presence of macular retinal displacement in 14 (11%) eyes. All displacements were inferior, with a mean angle of 3.8°. Patients with and without macular displacement did not differ in postoperative visual acuity. The retinal detachment extent and preoperative macular involvement were not significantly associated with the occurrence of retinal displacement. CONCLUSION: In this representative cohort of eyes that underwent RRD surgery with systematic screening for postoperative retinal displacement by UWF fundus autofluorescence, 11% of eyes experienced an inferior retinal shift. As in other cohorts, the presence of metamorphopsia was not associated with the occurrence of retinal shift.

BACKGROUND: The kidney and eyes share common pathways and are thought to be closely connected. Chronic kidney disease and major eye diseases, such as cataract and glaucoma, are strongly associated with age. However, further investigation is needed to understand the joint impact of age and kidney diseases on eye diseases. In this study, we assessed the risk of eye diseases in relation to age and kidney failure in Taiwanese adults. METHODS: Our study included 127,561 cancer-free volunteers aged 30 to 70 years who participated in the Taiwan Biobank (TWB) project from 2008 to 2020. Information on the main exposures (kidney failure and age) and the outcome (eye diseases, including glaucoma, cataract, xerophthalmia, and retinal detachment) was collected through questionnaires. RESULTS: In general, kidney failure and older age were independently associated with a higher risk of eye, particularly cataract and retinal detachment: prevalence odds ratio (POR); 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.480; 1.635-3.761 for cataract and 3.885; 1.968-7.666 for retinal detachment. A significant interaction between kidney failure and age on cataract was observed (p-value = 0.0002). Age-stratified analysis revealed a higher risk of cataract among patients with kidney failure aged below 50 (POR = 6.534; 95% CI = 2.493-17.124) and between 50 and 60 years (POR = 3.957; 95%CI = 1.986-7.881). Combining kidney failure and age (reference: no kidney failure and age < 50 years), kidney failure in all age groups was associated with a higher risk of cataract. The PORs; 95% CIs were 10.725; 4.227-27.211 for patients below 50 years, 28.487; 14.270-56.866 for those aged 50-60 years, and 43.183; 24.434-72.824 for those > 60 years. Combining cataract and age (reference: no cataract and age < 50 years), patients below 50 years had the highest risk of kidney failure (POR; 95% CI = 9.510; 3.722-24.297). CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that age and kidney failure may jointly contribute to eye diseases, particularly cataract. The association between cataract and kidney failure could be bidirectional, especially in individuals below 50 years. This significant bidirectional relationship underscores the need for screening patients with cataract for kidney failure and vice versa, particularly in younger adults.

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is reportedly associated with several ocular abnormalities. However, the relationship between vitiligo and retinal detachment (RD) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To examine the risk of RD in patients with vitiligo. METHODS: A nationwide population-based cohort study was conducted using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database from 2007 to 2018. A total of 21 132 patients with vitiligo were matched in a 1 : 4 ratio with people without vitiligo by age, sex and comorbidity propensity score. Cumulative incidence and Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the risk of RD in patients with vitiligo. Subgroup analysis was performed. RESULTS: The cohort with vitiligo had a significantly higher rate of RD than the cohort without vitiligo [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20-1.72; P < 0.001]. Patients with vitiligo who required treatments such as phototherapy, systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants exhibited an even greater risk of RD (aHR 1.57, 95% CI 1.16-2.14; P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed a 1.44-fold increased risk of RD in patients with vitiligo, with an even higher risk in patients receiving phototherapy, systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. The risk remained consistently higher over a 10-year follow-up period.

PURPOSE: To study the incidence of macular edema (ME), ocular hypertension (OHT), emulsification and migration to the anterior chamber (AC) of silicone oil (SO) in patients after complex retina surgery, stratified by SO type. METHODS: Retrospective, cohort study. Patients who underwent retina surgery with SO injection and extraction in our center were included. We compared the complication rates of ME, OHT, emulsification and migration to the AS according to SO type (1300cSt, 5700cSt and heavy SO). Data on age, sex, emulsification time, duration of the tamponade, previous retina surgeries and diagnosis were also gathered and included in a multivariate analysis. RESULTS: We included 163 patients (mean age of 64.8 years; mean duration of the tamponade: 11 months). Rates of emulsification, ME, OHT and SO migration to the AC were similar in all groups (p = 0.998, 0.668, 0.915 and 0.360). ME was the most frequent complication (33.3-47.8%), which resolved after SO extraction in 77.6% of cases. The majority of cases with OHT persisted (61.7%). Emulsification was related to younger age (OR 0.94) and longer duration of the tamponade (OR 1.04). The odds of SO migration to the AC increased with emulsification (OR 2.78), recurrent retinal detachment (OR 0.99) and aphakia (OR 4.05). CONCLUSIONS: We propose SO extraction as the preferred treatment for ME during SO tamponade. SO extraction should be performed sooner in younger patients to avoid emulsification. In selected patients, we suggest a longer duration of the tamponade up to 11 months with a reasonable safety profile, regardless of the SO type.

PURPOSE: To describe and evaluate demographics, clinical features, prognostic factors, rate of success of surgery, incidence, and visual outcomes in patients with a late recurrence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment over a 10-year period at a large tertiary referral eye center. METHODS: A retrospective, observational case series of patients with late recurrence of retinal detachment, defined as redetachment after at least six months of total reattachment in non-proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery with gas tamponade. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients had a late recurrence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of 16,396 rhegmatogenous retinal detachment operations. The mean of time between the first retinal detachment (RD) surgery and redetachment was 122.7 (SD 115) weeks. On presentation with late recurrence, 72% of eyes were pseudophakic and 64% were macula-off. In 28 eyes, small breaks were found. Thirty-eight percent had established PVR (PVR-C in 80%). Ninety-five percent underwent PPV. Gas was used in 61%. The initial secondary success rate was 64%. Initial best-corrected visual acuity was 1.32 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (6/120) and final was 0.8 logMAR (6/38; P value 0.002). CONCLUSION: Late recurrence of retinal detachment is rare. It is characterized by small retinal breaks that may be difficult to visualize. Although cases can be treated with favorable anatomical results, visual outcomes are often less good and the success rate is lower.

PURPOSES: To investigate the incidence and factors influencing the occurrence of metamorphopsia in patients with simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after surgery. METHODS: Relevant studies of metamorphopsia were identified by searching in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane until August 2022. Meta-analysis of the incidence of metamorphopsia after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery was performed using Review Manager 5.4 statistical software. RESULTS: A total of 12 studies reported 1133 participants with 469 patients with postoperative metamorphopsia. The meta-analysis showed a higher incidence of metamorphopsia in macular-off cases compared with macular-on RRD (RR = 2.88, 95% CI: 2.35 to 3.52). The use of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) reduced the incidence of metamorphopsia (RR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.41 to 0.92). There was no evidence of any important difference in metamorphopsia between participants in the PPV group and the scleral buckling (SB) group (RR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.82 to 1.33). There was little or no difference in metamorphopsia between gas and silicon oil (SO) in the PPV group (RR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.13). CONCLUSION: The incidence of postoperative metamorphopsia is higher in macular-off RRD, and PFCL should be a preferred choice to prevent postoperative metamorphopsia in macula-off RRD cases.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the risk of a retinal redetachment in women after vaginal delivery versus cesarean delivery. METHODS: Retrospective cohort analysis of patients diagnosed with retinal detachment (RD) who had later delivered in one tertiary medical center. Recurrence rates of RD were obtained from medical charts. RESULTS: A total of 967 women with RDs were evaluated, and 66 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age at the time of RD was 22.64 ± 5.81 SD years and 21.75 ± 5.47 SD years in the vaginal delivery group and the cesarean section group, respectively. None of the patients had a history of eye surgery or traumatic eye injury before the event of RD. In all patients, the detached retina was surgically reattached. Retinal detachment was not recorded in the fellow eye during follow-up. We report four cases of redetachment after birth in four women. In our study, there was a 5% rate (n = 2) of RD after a vaginal delivery as compared with a 7.5% (n = 2) redetachment rate for patients after a cesarean delivery ( P = 0.654). CONCLUSION: The risk of a redetachment of the retina in women is not increased after a vaginal delivery as compared with a cesarean delivery. Therefore, in our opinion, there is no ophthalmic benefit in a cesarean section for a woman with prior RD.

PURPOSE: Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) may result from laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity. Although risk factors have been hypothesized from case reports, comparative studies have not been reported. We sought to evaluate risk factors for ERD following laser, comparing affected and unaffected infants. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of infants undergoing retinopathy of prematurity laser at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia over 6 years. All received near-confluent laser of avascular retina. Demographic, medical, and procedural risk factors for ERD were evaluated in univariate analysis because of the rarity of ERD. RESULTS: Among 149 lasered infants, 6 infants (4%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.5%-8.6%) developed ERD. Race was a significant risk factor ( P = 0.01). Among 71 African American or Hispanic infants, 6 (8.5%, 95% CI 3.2%-17.5%) developed ERD. Among 78 non-African American or Hispanic infants, 0 (0%, 95% CI 0%-4.6%) developed ERD. There were no significant differences in the other studied factors. CONCLUSION: Exudative retinal detachment was uncommon (4%) following retinopathy of prematurity laser. Despite so few cases, darker pigmented race with likely increased pigmented fundi was significantly associated with an increased ERD risk. Further study may reveal whether increased choroidal pigment causes greater laser tissue damage or makes it difficult to discern the ora, resulting in inadvertent lasering of the ciliary body, leading to ERD.

PURPOSE: Unremoved vitreoschisis-induced vitreous cortex remnants over the peripheral retinal surface posterior to the vitreous base (pVCR) may increase the risk of surgical failure after primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. The purpose of this study was to validate our previous findings on pVCR prevalence during vitrectomy for RRD and to examine their association with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and surgical failure. METHODS: Prospective observational multisurgeon study of 100 eyes of 100 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy for RRD by one of four vitreoretinal surgeons. Collected data included detected pVCR and known PVR risk factors. Pooled analysis with our previous retrospective study (251 eyes of 251 patients) was also performed. RESULTS: Initial PVR (≥C) was present and removed in 6/100 (6%) patients, pVCR were detected in 36/100 (36%) patients, pVCR were removed in 30/36 (83%) patients with pVCR, and 4/36 (11%) patients with pVCR were high myopes (≤-6D). Six per cent (6/100) developed a retinal redetachment, of which 3/6 (50%) had initial PVR (≥C). Surgical failure rates in eyes with and without pVCR were 17% (6/36) and 0% (0/64), respectively. In eyes with pVCR and surgical failure, pVCR were not or not completely removed during the first surgery. Overall analysis showed that pVCR were statistically significantly associated with PVR. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms our previous findings: a pVCR prevalence of around 35% and an association between pVCR, PVR formation and surgical failure in patients undergoing vitrectomy for RRD. More research is needed to determine which patients would benefit most from pVCR removal.

The worldwide incidence and prevalence of myopia has increased. The age of onset of this refractive disorder has inversely decreased. In addition to genetic and familial factors, environmental factors related to a sedentary lifestyle and activities in highly solicited near vision seem to have an impact on the development of axial myopia, that is an early and non-reversible elongation of the eyeball. Prevention of the development of myopia in pediatrics through simple daily measures plays therefore a fundamental role. In addition, pharmacological treatments, and specific optical treatments for controlling myopia have shown encouraging results in reducing the risk of long-term complications of progressive myopia, that is increased risk of developing cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, or maculopathy.
L'incidence et la prévalence mondiales de la myopie ont augmenté. L'âge de survenue de ce trouble réfractif a quant à lui diminué. Outre les facteurs génétiques et familiaux, des facteurs environnementaux liés à la sédentarité et aux activités en vision proche hautement sollicitée semblent avoir un impact sur le développement de la myopie axile, c'est-à-dire une élongation précoce et non réversible du globe oculaire. La prévention du développement de la myopie par des mesures quotidiennes simples joue donc un rôle fondamental. En outre, des traitements pharmacologiques et par moyens auxiliaires spécifiques dits « freinateurs ¼ ont montré des résultats encourageants pour diminuer le risque de complications à long terme de la myopie progressive, tels qu'un risque augmenté de développer une cataracte, un glaucome, un décollement de rétine ou une maculopathie.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Within the evolving landscape of healthcare in the United States (US), delineating the demographic nuances and financial implications of emergent conditions, such as rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), is paramount. This study seeks to analyze the demographic and hospital billing amount/cost of service disparities in RRD visits to emergency departments (EDs) nationwide. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional, population-based study using International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision , and Current Procedural Terminology codes in the 2016 to 2019 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample databases to identify RRD visits. The analysis included demographics, hospital billing amount, and cost of service of RRD ED management. RESULTS: A total of 12,492 RRD encounters were identified with men constituting 64% and a prominent age group being 50 to 64 years (49.3%). Most patients (90%) were managed in metropolitan teaching hospitals, predominantly in the southern U.S. region (56.1%). Private insurance covered 45% of patients. Same-day RRD repair odds increased in November and December. Whites had a higher likelihood for same-day treatment. Hospital billing amount rose from $23,600 in 2016 to $30,354 in 2019, with stable mean total cost of service. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment ED visit incidence did not show seasonal variation ( P = 0.819). CONCLUSION: Most patients with RRD in U.S, EDs were middle-aged men, with Whites more likely to receive same-day repair. There was no sex bias observed in same-day repair decision-making. Although hospital billing amount increased over the study period, total cost of service remained stable. The incidence of RRD ED visits showed no seasonal variation.

AIM: To estimate metamorphopsia prevalence, predictors and etiologies in patients operated for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with detached macula with successful results. METHODS: Retrospective study including 50 eyes of 50 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for RRD with detached macula with standard silicone oil (SO) tamponade. Patients who had successful surgery with durable anatomic reapplication of the retina after SO removal were included. Patients were examined on day 1, day 7,1 month, and 3 months after surgery. Best corrected visual acuity, Amsler grid, fundus biomicroscopy, Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) and fundus auto-fluorescence (FAF) were performed in all patients after surgery. Structural abnormalities such as macular folds, macular epiretinal membrane, cystoid macular edema, and foveal disruption of the ellipsoid layer were observed on SD-OCT. Macular displacement was identified on FAF. RESULTS: We identified metamorphopsia as post-operative visual impairment in 27 patients among 50 (54%). Clinical assessment found that a delay > 7 days between symptoms and surgery (p < 0.001), more than 2 detached quadrants (p=0.012), and stage C of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (p=0.035) were associated to metamorphopsia. Regarding multimodal imaging findings, only macular folds and macular displacement were significantly correlated with the occurrence of postoperative metamorphopsia (p <0.001). CONCLUSION: Metamorphopsia is a common complaint after vitrectomy for RRD. Macular rotation and folds would be the main causes after complete and durable reapplication of the retina.

OBJECTIVE: Retinal detachment (RD) has been associated with exposure to heavy lifting. Many occupations within the construction industry are likely to involve lifting tasks. We investigated the association between occupational heavy lifting and rhegmatogenous RD in a retrospective cohort study of Swedish construction workers. METHODS: We studied Swedish construction workers who participated in an industry-wide health and safety program from 1971 to 1993. Individual occupation codes were linked to a job exposure matrix, assigning intensity of exposure to heavy lifting to each worker. The Swedish National Patient Register was used to identify cases of RD that occurred during follow-up through the end of 2012. We used Poisson regression modeling to calculate incidence rates of RD associated with heavy lifting, age and other covariates. A subcohort of those age ≤25 years at enrollment was studied to reduce bias from missing exposure information from work prior to enrollment. RESULTS: Of 256 241 construction workers, 17% were classified with high exposure to heavy lifting in their occupation. Within the cohort, 1588 cases of RD were identified. Average exposure intensity of heavy lifting was not associated with risk of RD. However, RD risk increased with increasing cumulative exposure to heavy lifting, both in the full cohort and subcohort of those who were ≤25 years old at entry into the construction-worker cohort. CONCLUSION: Construction workers' risk of RD appeared to increase with time spent exposed to heavy lifting.

PURPOSE: We report the estimated incidence of, and risk factors for, recurrent anterior uveitis in patients with initial acute-onset Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using survival analyses. METHODS: Patients who were diagnosed with initial acute-onset VKH disease during 2003-2022 at two university hospitals were included. Recurrent anterior uveitis was defined as the first occurrence of the granulomatous anterior uveitis with anterior chamber cells and flare of 2+ or more by the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) Working Group grading scheme, after the disappearance of conspicuous uveitis and serous retinal detachment for at least 3 months, regardless of systemic or local treatment. The univariate log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed, including patients' demographic characteristics, underlying diseases, presence of prodromal symptoms, duration of visual symptoms, visual acuity, slit-lamp and fundus findings, and height of serous retinal detachment. The treatment method and response to treatment were also included. RESULTS: The estimated incidence was 39.3% at 10 years. Fifteen of 55 patients (27.3%) had recurrent anterior uveitis during the mean follow-up of 4.5 years. The presence of focal posterior synechiae at the diagnosis increased the risk of recurrent anterior uveitis 6.97-fold compared to the absence of synechiae (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.20-22.11; p < 0.001). Use of systemic high-dose steroid therapy more than 7 days after the development of visual symptoms resulted in a hazard ratio of 4.55 (95% CI, 1.27-16.40; p = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS: This study reports the estimated incidence and risk factors of recurrent anterior uveitis in VKH disease from survival analyses. However, because of the retrospective nature of this study, it is hard to confirm the consistency of the medical records regarding risk factors, thus, the presence of focal posterior synechiae can be inconclusive as a risk factor. Further studies are warranted.

There have been marked increases in the numbers of patients with retinal detachments at individual centres in recent years and this is supported by the subjective impression of many experts. We therefore surveyed the literature on changes in the incidence of retinal detachments worldwide. This revealed quite significant methodological differences between the studies, so that it was difficult to achieve a conclusive comparison of the development of the incidence of retinal detachment. Despite these limitations, all data from recent studies suggest an increase in the number of retinal detachments. The incidence of retinal detachment in the western world currently seems to be more than 20 cases per 100,000 person-years, which is significantly higher than described in earlier decades. It can be assumed that an increase in the number of individuals with myopia, a demographic increase in patients of the typical age group for retinal detachment and an increasing number of cataract surgeries, especially in younger patients, are responsible for the rising incidence of retinal detachment.

Purpose: To assess changes in surgical decisions and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) during the COVID-19 pandemic at a tertiary center in Taiwan. Methods: Patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or scleral buckling (SB) for primary RRD during Taiwan's first wave of domestic COVID-19 cases surge between May and July 2021 (COVID cohort, n = 100) were compared to controls in the closest pre-COVID year, 2019 (pre-COVID cohort, n = 121). Results: The COVID cohort had significantly worse RRD presentation, received more PPV (alone or combined with SB (PPV + SB)) and less SB alone, and had comparable single-surgery anatomic success (SSAS) rates. In patients who underwent PPV, more underwent PPV + SB instead of PPV alone. The decision to combine SB in PPV surgery was significantly affected by the COVID pandemic (odds ratio [OR], 3.1860 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.1487-8.8361]). However, a shorter duration of symptoms before the first presentation (0.9857 [95% CI, 0.9720-0.9997]) was the only factor related to SSAS, whereas the surgical method had no association. The SSAS rate remained close to or over 90% in patients with a duration of symptoms before surgery ≤4 weeks but dropped to 83.3% in patients with duration >4 weeks. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, worse RRD presentations led to a shift in preference for PPV over SB alone as the primary surgery. The pandemic affected surgeons' decision to combine SB during PPV. Nevertheless, SSAS was only associated with the duration of symptoms but not with surgical methods.
