In a retrospective study of 1180 consecutive eyes operated for retinal detachment, vitreous traction on the rent was the determining factor for the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Round, multiple, small holes in equatorial degeneration (retinogenic) and macular holes in which no vitreous traction on the rent was found did not complicate with PVR. Retinal detachment caused by horseshoe or crescent-shaped tears with evidence of vitreous traction (vitreogenic) developed PVR to a variable degree: in 171 (25.8%) senile myopic, 19 (44.2%) senile-myopic aphakic, 23 (20.2%) typical aphakic, and 32 (78.1%) patients with giant tears. We also found that retinogenic retinal detachments affected younger age groups more than did vitreogenic retinal detachments.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
