The fellow eyes of 13 cases of retinal detachment associated with atopic dermatitis were examined by binocular ophthalmoscope combined with scleral indentation. Breaks in the retina or pars plana were detected in 8 cases (62%); 2 of these eyes had asymptomatic retinal detachment. The most common location of these breaks was at the vitreous base symmetrical to the affected, symptomatic eye. Meticulous ophthalmoscopic examination is recommended for both eyes in patients with retinal detachment associated with atopic dermatitis.

Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
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.
