[Prevention of retinal detachment. Whom to treat?].
Natural history of retinal detachment (RD) studies on clinical exam of 200 patients revealed that RD, is the consequence of multiple risk factors preparing to PVD. This phenomenon depends therefore from peculiar background, patient's age, and opportunistic traumatism. The best prophylaxis would be represented by a mean of inducing PVD without retinal damage. Since no possibilities are present right now, retinopexy or surgical mechanical action are used as prophylactic methods. Results are discussed in this paper based on long-term-follow-up of 300 patients.
