The Association between the Frequency of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment and Atmospheric Temperature

Figure 1

The number of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgeries and the respective daily temperature ranges. The monthly average number of RRD surgeries showed a bimodal peak (April and October) over the year. With the same tendency as the frequency of RRD, the monthly average of the daily temperature range for 1 year also showed a bimodal peak in April (daily temperature range, 12.3°C) and October (daily temperature range, 11.2°C).
