Factors influencing absorption of subretinal fluid. 1977

G H Chester, and P K Leaver, and S H Saunders

In 200 cases of retinal detachment successfully treated without drainage of subretinal fluid, complete reattachment of the retina was achieved in the first post-operative week in 76% of cases. Delay in subretinal fluid absorption in the remaining 24% of cases was directly related to the duration of the retinal detachment, but was not influenced by the patients age, refractive error or the characteristics of the detachment.

D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
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.
