ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of traumatic retinal detachment associated with ocular injury in incomplete diving.METHODS:
A 15-year-old female complaining of floaters before the eyes was referred to our hospital. In both fundus, we found retinal holes in inferonasal quadrant. We investigated physical properties of retinal detachment associated with diving.RESULTS:
When the human body falls down from 10 m height, the impact power is the same as the pressure exerted by 595 kg weight to the body for one second. And this power may cause retinal detachment.CONCLUSIONS:
Today there are many sport activities and retinal injuries can occur by various mechanism. We report our clinical experience with retinal detachment associated with diving.
