Purpose: Exploratory analysis associated with the prospective, multicenter, randomized PRIVENT trial. To characterize the associations between laser flare photometry and anatomical and epidemiological features of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: The authors measured laser flare values of all 3,048 prescreened patients excluding those with comorbidities. A mixed regression analysis evaluated the strength of the influencing factors like age, sex, lens status, and presence and extent of RRD on laser flare. Results: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was more frequent in men (65.8%) than in women (34.2%, P < 0.001) and in right (52%) than in left eyes (48%, P = 0.045). Phakic RRD affected less quadrants and was less likely to be associated with macula-off status than pseudophakic RRD (48.4% vs. 58.0% macula off, 23% vs. 31% >= 3 quadrants, P < 0.001). Laser flare of affected eyes was significantly higher compared with fellow eyes (12.6 15.2 vs. 8.3 +/- 7.4 pc/ms, P < 0.001). The factors age, sex, lens status, presence of RRD, and the number of quadrants affected were independent influencing factors on laser flare. R-2 was 0.145 for phakic and 0.094 for pseudophakic eyes. Conclusion: The results indicate that there may be more factors affecting laser flare than previously assumed. This might limit flare as predictive value for PVR and retinal redetachment.
