Fibrinogen and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a pilot prospective study

IP TheocharisOphthalmology Department, Iaso General Hospital, Athens, GreecePurpose: To examine the correlation, if any, between fibrinogen plasma levels (FPL) and the clinical features of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods: FPL were measured preoperatively in 33 patients with primary R...
