Traumatic Retinal Detachment; Risk Factors, Pathogenesis, Clinical Features and Management

Traumatic retinal detachment associated with open or closed eye injuries is an important risk factor for ocular morbidity. Injuries associated with retinal detachment have a worse visual prognosis than traumas without retinal detachment. Traumatic retinal detachments may be associated with traumas of other eye structures, there are difficulties in diagnosis and there is no consensus on their management. Today, improvements in vitreoretinal surgical equipments and imaging systems have resulted in more effective intervention of traumatic retinal detachments. In this paper, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical features and management of traumatic retinal detachment are discussed.
