[The clinical aspects in myopic retinal detachment].
Beside aphakia and senility myopia is one of the major factors predisposing to retinal detachment. The purpose of the study is to define the clinical features of the myopic retinal detachment with therapeutic and prognostic implications.


METHODS
100 myopic (< 6 dioptres) retinal detachments that were hospitalized in the Ophthalmological Department from Cluj-Napoca between 1996-99 are retrospectively analyzed.


RESULTS
The major clinical elements having an impact in defining the anatomical and functional prognosis of the myopic retinal detachment are described and analyzed: the extension of the retinal detachment, the number and shape of the retinal ruptures, the detachment of the macula, the association of aphakia and of myopic choroidosis.
