As the number of cataract extractions performed these days is increasing, it is clear that pseudophakic RD will also increase correspondingly. As a result, in developing countries like Ethiopia, where there is lack of optimal operating facilities and few vitreoretinal surgeons, blindness from retinal diseases like RD, diabetic retinopathies and age-related macular degeneration will increase unless a strategy is designed to increase the numbers and improve the set-ups of the existing facilities and also increase the number of trained professionals in the field of retina.
Despite significant number of patients with RD being seen each year in the existing eye care facilities, there are no population-based surveys or hospital studies done to know the prevalence and identify the causes and risk factors of RD among Ethiopian patients.
