Abstract

45 patients (50 eyes) were treated for juvenile rhegmatogenous retinal detachments between August 1979 and July 1984. A review of these cases revealed high myopia and trauma to be the main aetiological factors. Eight-six per cent detachments were successfully reattached. Visual acuity of 6/36 or better was present in 16% preoperatively and in 52% postoperatively, some of the characteristics of juvenile rhegmatogenous retinal detachments in Malaysian population are discussed.
