Description

Approximately 90% of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in retinal detachment is restored by the first vitreous surgery; however, in the case of RRD including the macula, the postoperative visual acuity prognosis varies and is difficult to predict. Here, we looked at the ellipsoid zone (EZ) near the fovea on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to determine whether morphological recovery of the outer layer of the macula in the early postoperative period is associated with visual function after 3 months. Consequently, with the increase in brightness and thickness of the EZ 1 month after the operation, the visual acuity prognosis improved 3 months later. Therefore, the prognosis of visual acuity could be inferred by observing the outer layer of the retina on the OCT image 1 month after the operation.
