Screening

Screening for RD is not usually performed in the absence of risk factors.

Patients with risk factors should be monitored at appropriate intervals.[14]​ Always monitor both eyes. For example, ophthalmologists usually monitor patients with high myopia and may prescribe a slit-lamp examination every 3 months to identify lesions such as lattice degeneration.[45] However, no scientific evidence supports the efficacy of this approach.
