Association of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Incidence With Myopia Prevalence in the Netherlands

Importance: The incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is partly determined by its risk factors, such as age, sex, cataract surgery, and myopia. Changes in the prevalence of these risk factors could change RRD incidence in the population. Objective: To determine whether the incidence of RRD in the Netherlands has changed over recent years and whether this change is associated with an altered prevalence of RRD risk factors. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study included data from all 14 vitreoretinal clinics in the Netherlands, as well as a large Dutch population-ba... Mehr ...
