| Summary: | <b>Purpose:</b> To examine the seasonality of retinal detachment (RD) and explore global patterns and contributing factors through a narrative review. <b>Methods:</b> Studies investigating seasonal trends in RD incidence across diverse regions were analysed for peak seasons, meteorological influences, and behavioural factors. <b>Results:</b> RD seasonality varies by region. Northern climates (e.g., Finland) report summer peaks linked to prolonged daylight, while warmer climates (e.g., Kuwait) show winter peaks associated with outdoor activity. Some studies found correlations with temperature, light, and atmospheric pressure, while others reported no seasonal variation. <b>Conclusions:</b> RD seasonality reflects a complex interplay of environmental and behavioural factors. Future research should focus on standardised methodologies to clarify these relationships and inform preventative strategies. |
