Retinal Detachment Untreated Duration Statistics
If left untreated, retinal detachment can lead to severe vision loss within days to weeks.
In this post, we will explore a comprehensive set of statistics surrounding retinal detachment, a serious condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated. From the prevalence rates to the risks associated with untreated retinal detachment, understanding these statistics is crucial for raising awareness about the importance of timely intervention and treatment. Let’s delve into the numbers to gain a deeper insight into the impact of retinal detachment on visual health.
Statistic 1
"Approximately 1 in 10,000 people per year experiences retinal detachment,"
Statistic 2
"Nearly 40% of people with untreated retinal detachment will develop total blindness,"
Statistic 3
"Retinal detachments without treatment will rapidly worsen vision within 2-3 weeks,"
Statistic 4
"Approximately half of all people with severe myopia, are at a higher risk of retinal detachment,"
Statistic 5
"Retinal detachment leads to blindness in approximately 90% of cases if left untreated,"
Statistic 6
"Only about 6% to 11% of cases reported spontaneous reattachment without treatment,"
Statistic 7
"Nearly 75% of patients with a total chronic retinal detachment have a visual acuity of less than 20/200,"
Statistic 8
"If left untreated, 50% of retinal holes will lead to detachment within a year,"
Statistic 9
"Approximately 60% of detachments occur in eyes with peripheral retinal degenerative changes,"
Statistic 10
"Approximately 10 to 15% of retinal detachments are tractional, typically from diabetes,"
Statistic 11
"7% to 17% of closed-globe injuries result in retinal detachment,"
Statistic 12

Statistic 13
"67% percent of patients maintain a visual acuity of 20/40 or better after retinal detachment repair,"
Statistic 14
"70% of cases of retinal detachment are considered rhegmatogenous, caused by a tear or hole in the retina,"
Statistic 15
"About 20% to 30% of retinal detachment patients may experience some level of permanent vision loss,"
Statistic 16
"In the United States, about 11.8 per 100,000 people per year experience retinal detachment,"
Statistic 17
