Visual outcome of scleral buckling surgery in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a tertiary eye care center

Abstract

Background: A rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) occurs when a tear in the retina leads to fluid 
accumulation with a separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying RPE. the presence of macular 
involvement,duration of detachment and PVR are the most important factors when it comes to restoring visual 
acuity. Present study was undertaken to assess different aspects of scleral buckling surgery in rhegmatogenous 
retinal detachment and to evaluate associated risk factors with it .It is also undertaken to evaluate complications of 
scleral buckling surgery and factors affecting it outcome.
