Clinical Characteristics and Surgical Outcomes of Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment in Taiwan

Myopia >4 diopters was the most common etiology in retinal detachment in our sample, followed by trauma. Myopia (> −4.0 diopters) may be more common than previously reported. Most eyes (78.3%) were anatomically reattached after multiple surgeries. Retinal detachment not associated with myopia is a newly identified predictor for poor surgical outcomes.
