Out of 328 patients with the diagnosis of RRD registered on the registry at the retina clinic, the charts of 276 patients [84.1%] were retrieved from the card room. Of the 276 patients, 188 [68%] were male and 88 [32%] were female making the male to female ratio 2.1:1. Their age ranged from 7 years to 85 years with a mean of 41 and a median of 40 years. Of the 276 patients, 247 [89.5%] had RRD (133 [48.2%] in the right eye and 114 [41.3%] in the left eye) and 29 patients [10.5%] were having bilateral RRD; thus totally there were 305 eyes affected with RRD.

The ages of patients were classified into three groups (young/adulthood/elderly) as each group more or less share similar potential risk factors for RD.
