ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To determine the relationship between the preoperative macular height of a macular detachment and visual outcome of the post retinal reattachment.METHODS:
Prospective case series of 26 patients who presented to the Wolverhampton Eye Infirmary with a primary rhegmatogenous macula-off retinal detachment. Macular detachment height was assessed by B-scan ultrasound (10 Mhz) in the seated and supine postures before surgery. Age, gender, duration of the detachment, type of surgery, preoperative (pre-op) and postoperative (post-op) visual acuities at 3 and 6 months and status of the fellow eye were noted.RESULTS:
A total of 26 eyes of 26 patients (mean age 61.4 years+/-15.56 SD) were recruited. The mean logMAR pre- and post-op visual acuities at 3 and 6 months were 1.5+/-1.1 SD (range 0.2-3), 0.38+/-0.23 SD (range 0-0.84), and at 6 months 0.29+/-0.22 SD (range 0-1.0). The median period of the macular detachment was 4.5 days (95% CI 2-8 days). There was no significant difference between the mean macular heights while seated 2.42 mm+/-1.2 or supine 2.39 mm+/-1.0 (t-test, P=0.9). Correlation showed that the pre-op macular height is a statistical predictor of post-op visual acuity in our group of patients with macula-off retinal detachments.CONCLUSIONS:
The shallower the macular detachment the greater the likelihood of a good visual outcome.
