Abstract
This work was carried out in 240 eyes of 120 patients in order to study the white without pressure (WWOP) peripheral retinal lesions as regards to its incidence, morphology, distribution, associated retinal and vitreous changes predisposing to retinal detachment in 60 patients each of emmetropia and myopia. Maximum numbers of patients were in the second to fifth decade of life. The gender difference was not significant between the groups. The maximum numbers of eyes were emmetropic. The WWOP lesions were detected in 4.17% eyes. The WWOP lesions were found to be more common in the third decade of life. There was no predilection for sex in patients with WWOP. The WWOP lesions were found more frequently in myopic eyes as compared to emmetropic eyes. These lesions were observed between the oraserrata and equator. The isolated WWOP lesions were more frequent than the confluent lesions. The superotemporal quadrant was the most frequently involved. The peripheral retinal lesions capable of causing retinal detachment were seen more frequently in myopic eyes with WWOP. The peripheral retinal degenerations and vitreous changes were observed in all the eyes with WWOP irrespective of the type of refractive error. The WWOP lesion as such may not be having any potential for causing retinal detachment, but because of the more frequent association with the predisposing peripheral retinal degenerations and vitreous changes, it has been suggested that these eyes should be examined more exhaustively and followed up more frequently to prevent the occurrence of retinal detachment.
