Primary retinopexy in preventing retinal detachment in a tertiary eye hospital: a study of 1157 eyes.

With our large cohort of patients over three years, we provide additional evidence on the RRD and subsequent retinopexy rate after primary retinopexy. Further retinopexy is a common occurrence, particularly in high-risk retinal tears such as HST. Strict monitoring and prompt follow-up after retinopexy is important to prevent progression to RRD and should be of priority in the clinicians post-retinopexy management plan, particularly in those with associated risk factors.
