In this series, pediatric RRD occurred most commonly in association with myopia (Stickler's syndrome and adolescent retinopathy of prematurity) and prior intraocular surgery. Most eyes were anatomically reattached after multiple surgeries. Forty-one percent of eyes retained vision of 20/800 or better. Preserving vision in children with RRD is of great importance, particularly given the 89% frequency of vision-threatening abnormalities in fellow eyes.
