Presentation
Time of presentation and final visual outcome at our hospital are shown in [Table 1]. One patient (10%) came to the hospital on the same day. The mean time of presentation was 15.3 days. Two patients (20%) presented within a week. [kjophthal.com]
Retinal incarceration in the present case probably occurred at the time of withdrawal of needle and prevented further retinal detachment. [ijo.in]
No speech or neurological deficits were present. [mdedge.com]

- Corneal Edema
Evaluation of patients with ocular trauma by ultrasound is of particular value when abnormalities like corneal edema, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage or cataract make direct visualization of the ocular contents difficult. [acep.org]
Ho notes that the most common reason for retained perfluorocarbon is loss of visualization, either through uncontrolled intraocular bleeding, corneal edema, dense cataract, or condensation on the lens implant (particularly with silicone intraocular lenses [retinatoday.com]
Therapy is initiated to lower the intraocular pressure, reduce pain, and clear corneal edema in preparation for iridotomy. Definitive treatment for primary acute angle-closure glaucoma is laser iridotomy. [aafp.org]
- Retinal Scar
Similarly, in some people with retinal lesions such as lattice retinal degeneration or chorio-retinal scars, the vitreous membrane may be abnormally adherent to the retina. If enough traction occurs the retina may tear at these points. [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment
Not all retinal tears require treatment. When low-risk tears are identified in patients who have no symptoms, these tears can be observed without treatment. [asrs.org]

The aim of treatment is to prevent further damage to the eye and limit problems with sight. There are two key stages to treatment, with the first stage being surgery and the second stage is recovery. [medic8.com]

Prognosis
A prompt referral of the patient after globe perforation to a retina specialist is a must to achieve good visual prognosis. [ijo.in]
Prognosis[19] Several factors affect outcomes. [patient.info]
Treatment and prognosis If a retinal tear is diagnosed promptly before it progresses to retinal detachment, the prognosis is extremely good. Retinal tears are typically treated with laser or a freezing procedure (cryotherapy). [asrs.org]
The growth of connective tissue into the vitreous from the site of perforation may be an important factor in the prognosis of a detached retina resulting from this complication. [jamanetwork.com]
In case of perforations, there is a risk of infection, as a foreign body may remain inside the eye, thus leading to a worse prognosis. In most severe cases, the eyeball integrity may be endangered. [icrcat.com]
Etiology
Etiological causes were revealed as myopia, peripheral retinal degeneration, pseudophakia, aphakia, trauma, and idiopathic. Etiological causes were not significantly different between the two groups (p>0.05, for all). [library.laredo.edu]
Perforation of the choroid and retina during strabismus surgery is considered the etiology in two cases of retinal detachment, a case of vitreal hemorrhage, and an endophthalmitis. [jamanetwork.com]
We describe the diagnosis and management of a patient with chronic hypotony of initial unclear etiology, later determined to be secondary to perforation from a silicone scleral buckle. [canadianjournalofophthalmology.ca]
Etiology Usually idiopathic ( Other risk factors include cystoid macular edema, retinal detachment, laser injury, hypertension, very high myopia and diabetic retinopathy. Ophthalmic features It may rarely be an incidental finding. [risingretina.com]
Most individuals sustaining eye injuries are male with an estimated relative risk of 5.5 times greater than women. [1] Etiology Penetrating or perforating ocular injuries can be due to injury from any sharp or high velocity object. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Epidemiology Prevalence is estimated at around 0.8% in several studies and incidence at around 8 per 100,000 per year.[1, 2, 3] Around 10% of macular holes are bilateral at diagnosis.[3] Women are more commonly affected than men. [patient.info]
Epidemiology DVT affects as many as 2 million Americans every year. The majority of patients are treated medically, with anticoagulation being the mainstay of therapy to promote thrombus resolution and prevent propagation and embolization. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Preventing a macular hole It is not possible to prevent a macular hole, though attending regular eye tests (every 12 months if possible) will help to ensure that any problems are diagnosed and treated early, which will improve prognosis. [medic8.com]
