Abstract
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. 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. 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. Roller coaster riding should be considered an adjunct risk factor for retinal detachment in predisposed patients.
