Patients with a traumatic or post-vitrectomy GRT were excluded.

The mean age was 49.9 years (range 14 to 81) and mean follow-up duration was 6.9 years (range 1 to 16). During the follow-up interval, prophylactic laser retinopexy was performed in 5 fellow eyes for retinal breaks (9.8%) and in one fellow eye with a progressing retinoschisis cavity (2.0%). One patient had a previous history of a retinal break in the fellow eye. Vitreoretinal surgery was performed in 6 (11.8%) fellow eyes for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments, of which one was caused by a GRT. Three patients (5.9%) already had a retinal detachment repair in the fellow eye prior to presentation and one patient presented with bilateral giant retinal tear associated retinal detachments (GRT-RDs) at the initial visit. Overall, there was a retinal event in 33.3% of fellow eyes. Myopia was the most commonly documented associated factor (31%), followed by lattice degeneration (22%), and known or suspected inherited vitreoretinopathy (4%).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Retinal tears and\/or detachments were encountered relatively frequently in the fellow eye of patients with a history of GRT-RD during follow-up, but the rate of GRTs in the fellow eye (4%) was below what has been generally reported in the literature.
