Frequency and Distribution of Ophthalmic Surgical Procedures among Patients with Inherited Retinal Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In this study, we aimed to characterize the frequency and distribution of ocular surgeries in patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) and evaluate associated patient and disease factors.

Design

Retrospective cohort.

Participants

Subjects aged ≥ 18 years who were followed at the Johns Hopkins Genetic Eye Disease Center.

Methods

We studied a retrospective cohort of patients with an IRD diagnosis to analyze the occurrence of laser and incisional surgeries. Subjects were categorized into 2 groups: central dysfunction (macular/cone/cone-rod dystrophy, "MCCRD group") and panretinal or peripheral dysfunction (retinitis pigmentosa-like, "RP group"). Genetic testing status was recorded. The association of patient and disease factors on the frequency, d
