abstract="PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to report two cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment noted immediately after roller coaster riding in an at-risk population. <br><br>METHODS: In separate incidents, a 35-year-old woman and a 45-year-old woman, both significantly myopic, presented with visual symptoms after riding roller coasters. <br><br>RESULTS: Both patients were found to have acute rhegmatogenous retinal detachments associated with myopic degenerative changes. The pathology supported an acute, traumatic etiology for the detachments. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Roller coaster riding should be considered an adjunct risk factor for retinal detachment in predisposed patients.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
