Use of fluoroquinolones and risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a retrospective cohort study using two nationwide representative claims databases
This large-scale study, leveraging real-world data from Taiwan and the United States, showed a low and comparable RRD risk among adults who initiated fluoroquinolones or other antibiotics with similar indications. This suggests that the RRD risk should not deter the use of fluoroquinolone when clinically indicated.
