Crude and age\u2010 and sex\u2010standardised incidence rates were calculated per 100\u2009000 person\u2010years using population data from Statistics Sweden. Cataract surgery data were obtained from the Swedish National Cataract Registry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 6916 surgically treated primary RRD cases were identified. Annual incidence increased from 15.8 to 29.5 cases per 100\u2009000 person\u2010years between 2011 and 2025, an 86.7% increase. Peak incidence of 30.4 per 100\u2009000 person\u2010years was seen in both 2019 and 2024. The increase persisted after age\u2010 and sex\u2010standardisation. Mean age at surgery was 62\u2009years and 68.3% occurred in men. Cataract surgery rate increased by 56.2% between 2011 and 2024. The proportion of pseudophakic RRD rose from 37.7% during 2011\u20132013 to 55.4% in 2023\u20132025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The RRD incidence in Southern Sweden nearly doubled over the past 15\u2009years, reaching levels among the highest reported worldwide. The increase persisted after standardisation, indicating that population ageing and sex distribution do not account for it. The concurrent rise in cataract surgery and in the proportion of pseudophakic RRD is notable, but these population\u2010level observations cannot establish a causal link between the rise in RRD and the cataract surgery rate.<\/jats:p>\n
