Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Risk and Surgical Approach

Calculates rhegmatogenous retinal detachment risk from myopia degree, lattice degeneration extent, prior surgery, and macula status, guiding choice between pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, and pars plana vitrectomy.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculates rhegmatogenous retinal detachment risk from myopia degree, lattice degeneration extent, prior surgery, and macula status, guiding choice between pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, and pars plana vitrectomy

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Myopia degree — The myopia degree recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Lattice degeneration extent — The lattice degeneration extent recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Prior surgery — The prior surgery recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Macula status — The macula status recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Guiding choice between pneumatic retinopexy — The guiding choice between pneumatic retinopexy recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Scleral buckle — The scleral buckle recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the rrd risk score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use
