Retinal thickening after successful surgery for macula-off retinal detachment.
Current Eye Research 2007 January
PURPOSE: To study changes in retinal thickness after reattachment of the retina after scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, patients were classified into three subgroups according to preoperative macular status. Retinal thickness within 3 mm of the center was measured with optical coherence tomography.
RESULTS: Foveal retinal thickness at a mean of 2 years postoperatively was significantly increased in patients with preoperatively detached macula. Additionally retinal thickness in the fovea and postoperative visual acuity was positively correlated.
CONCLUSIONS: Successful surgery for macula-off retinal detachment is associated with significant thickening of the neurosensory retina when examined with optical coherence tomography 6 months postoperatively.
