Abstract

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is the most common type of retinal detachment. Different types of retinal degeneration may lead to retinal detachment. The shape and location of retinal breaks and detachment are various in different patients. In this chapter, we provide a large number of fundus photographs and diagrams of retinal degeneration, retinal breaks and detachment. With these pictures, the lesions are showed more clearly and distinctly.
