PHILADELPHIA — Delayed retinal breaks and retinal detachments occur more often after acute posterior vitreous detachment in patients with underlying risk factors, according to a study presented at Wills Eye Conference.
“Retinal breaks may progress to retinal detachment in 30% to 50% of untreated eyes,” Joshua H. Uhr, MD, said. “The literature on delayed break after PVD is limited in existing studies ... and there are conflicting recommendations in the literature regarding the need for follow-up.”
