Excerpt

Over the past 100 years, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) has evolved from a poorly understood and untreatable disease to one in which single-operation success rates exceed 90% with modern techniques [1]. A key step in this progress was the recognition that rhegmatogenous RDs are by definition caused by one or more retinal breaks. This finding was first presented by Jules Gonin to the Swiss Ophthalmological Society in 1918 [2], making 2018 a very special 100-year anniversary of this observation. …
