Degeneración Lattice

Abstract

<em><strong>Objective:</strong></em> To determinate lattice retinal peripheral degeneration prevalence and relationship with refractive state and retinal breaks. <em><strong>Methodology:</strong></em> Is an study of transversal corte with exploration of association by means Of analysis of cases and controls. Was examinated 680 eyes in the Instituto de Investigaciones Optométricas of the Universidad de La Salle and Instituto de Córnea. The refractive state was determinated by static technique and the retinal state by means of indirect ophthalmoscopy with scleral indentation. <em><strong>Results:</strong></em> Prevalence of Lattice retinal peripheral degeneration was of 5.1%. Conclusions: Lattice degeneration is associated with myopia and retinal breaks.
