Functional and anatomical outcomes after successful macula-off retinal detachment surgery, a 12 month-follow-up

2016

This is an abstract that was submitted for the 2016 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, Wash., May 1-5, 2016.; Purpose: To describe the changes of retinal structure and function after successful repair of macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: Prospective multicenter study including patients with successful surgery for macula-off RRD between October 2011 and April 2014. Those with pre-existing macular diseases or with surgery failures were excluded. Each patient underwent a complete ophthalmologic exam at baseline and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery (M1, M3, M6, M12, respectively). Function was assessed by measuring the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) …
