AIMS: To discern treatable and preventable causes of @entity1939 by evaluating the aetiologic factors, and to compare the distribution of the most commonly affected anatomic sites of severe @entity227 (SVI) with our previous published data. METHODS: The charts of 11   871 @entity1 followed between June 2002 and May 2014 were reviewed retrospectively, and 695 @entity1 (5.9%) who had SVI or @entity1939 in accordance with WHO criteria were enrolled. The results of ophthalmologic examinations and coexistence of any @entity262 were documented and checked against our published clinic data concerning the aetiology of @entity1939 .   (2) test was used for statistics. RESULTS: Mean age was 47.0  51.9   months (median: 24   months). @entity227 ( @entity227 ) was present in 212 cases (30.5%) and 20.3% of those had a history of @entity600 . The most common anatomic sites of SVI were retina (24.6%) and crystalline lens (17.1%). When compared with our previous data, we found a significant increase in the prevalence of @entity227 (p=0.046) and decrease in the frequency of SVI due to @entity35977 (p<0.001). Prevalence of @entity1939 secondary to @entity989 of @entity3465 reduced by a third (p=0.280), and a significant decrease in @entity4118 -related SVI (p=0.028) was achieved within the last decade. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of @entity227 was found to be relatively increased due to the significant reduction in the frequency of preventable causes of SVI. Furthermore our clinical practice for visual rehabilitation in @entity4118 has resulted in a considerable decrease in SVI in the last decade.
