Clinical Manifestations and Surgical Outcomes of Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment in Patients < 30 Years of Age with High Myopia

Primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)is a major cause of visual impairment.Extensive studies have shown that high myopia is a significant risk factor for RRD[1].A bimodal age distribution of RRD has been reported in Chinese populations,with a major peak in the group of 60–69 years old and a smaller peak in the group of 20–29 years old[2].A study in China has revealed a similar distribution and further indicated that the proportion and number of patients with RRD and high myopia peaked at the age range of 20–29 years[3].Correspondingly,a high prevalence of myopia has been reported in Asians aged 20–29 years[4].Thus,patients<30 years with RRD and high myopia require special attention.However,limited studies have been conducted on RRD in young individuals with high myopia.Therefore,this study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients<30 years with RRD and high myopia.Furthermore,we focused on various factors that may correlate with surgical outcomes.
