“…Physiological PVD has been found to start in the temporal visual field [ 19 ], and peripheral retinal degeneration usually appears in the superior temporal area [ 20 ]. Given this, we would expect RD to mostly occur in the superior temporal quadrant, as found in our sample in both study groups.…”

Background Given differences in the pathogenic mechanisms underlying primary retinal detachment (RD) as a function of the status of the lens, the objective was to explore differences between pseudophakic and phakic patients with primary RD. Methods A retrospective study including 821 patients who underwent surgery for RD [491 cases of phakic and 330 of pseudophakic RD (pRD and psRD, respectively)] in our hospital between 2012 and 2020. Results The mean age was 58.24 ± 12.76 years in the pRD group and 66.87 ± 11.18 years in the psRD group (p = 0.001). There were more men in both groups (70% and 64.23% of pseudophakic and phakic patients, respectively; p = 0.07). The most common location for the RD was superior in both groups (43.94% and 51.93% of pseudophakic and phakic patients, respectively), rates of inferior and total RD were somewhat higher in the psRD group (31.82% and 13.33% in pseudophakic vs 25.25% and 11.0% in phakic patients, p = 0.001). In pseudophakic and phakic patients respectively, macular involvement in 69.09% and 62.73% of cases (p = 0.067). Proliferative vitreoretinopathy was significantly more common in the psRD group (7.88% vs 3.6% in phakic patients, p = 0.01).The rate of final anatomic reattachment differed markedly between groups, with a higher rate in phakic (94.03%) than pseudophakic (87.27%) patients (p = 0.001). Conclusions The specific pathogenic mechanism involved in psRD seems to be responsible for worse evolution characteristics which are associated with poorer final anatomic and functional outcomes in pseudophakic patients.
