The purpose of this study was to investigate preoperative blood-ocular barrier disruption via laser flare photometry (LFP) in patients diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and analyse possible associations symptom duration anatomical parameters.We retrospectively analysed consecutive presenting RRD at a single centre between January 2016 March 2020. LFP performed both eyes after pupillary dilatation prior surgery. Symptom duration, extent detachment, lens status were assessed. For statistical analysis, we carried out the unequal variances t test Welch's analysis variance (ANOVA).We included 373 (mean age 63.96 years ± 10.29; female:male ratio 1:1.8). values quantified photon count per millisecond (pc/ms) increased longer when comparing 0-3 days (n = 158; 9.25 6.21 pc/ms) ≥ 4 215; 11.97 11.58 pc/ms; p 0.004). also rose number quadrants affected by (1 quadrant, 6.82 4.08 2 quadrants, 10.08 7.28 3 12.79 7.9 31.57 21.27 < 0.001), macula off (macula on, 8.89 6.75 off, 12.65 11.66 pseudophakic (pseudophakia, 12.86 9.52 phakia: 9.31 9.67 0.001).In patients, is associated symptoms disease's extent. These results warrant further investigation potential clinical use RRD.
