Abstract
Patients were selected for this study from the eye casualty database at Oxford Eye Hospital. All patient records, which have been diagnostically coded as acute PVD over a 2 year period, were reviewed. Cases where there was a precipitating cause for PVD such as blunt trauma, retinal vascular disease, diabetic retinopathy, previous surgery, or laser treatment were excluded. Only cases with spontaneous PVD were included in the study.
