Aim: To elucidate the clinical features and surgical outcome of patients with bilateral simultaneous RRD over period of 10 years.Methods: Retrospective interventional study of 168 eyes of 84 patients with bilateral simultaneous RRD, observed by ophthalmoscopy at the initial examination was done. Patients with attached retina at final follow up and with improvement in visual acuity were considered to have anatomical and functional success respectively. Results: 90% in the better eye and 82.1% in the worse eye were managed by scleral buckling and anatomical success was seen in 99% and functional success was seen in 87% of the cases. PPV was done in remaining cases with anatomical and functional success in 83% and 78% of cases respectively. Eyes with partial RD, without macular involvement and eyes in which multiple surgeries were not done had significantly better anatomical and functional results. Conclusion:Early sequential surgery gives good anatomical and functional outcomes.
