The relationship between the changes of persistent submacular fluid and finla visual outcomes in patients with macula-involving retinal detachment in different diopter eyes after scleral buckel surgery
Abstract：[Abstar ct] Obje ctive To study the relationship between the changes of persistent submacular fluid (SMF) and final vision outcomes in patients with macula-involving retinal detachment ( RD) in different diopters after scleral buckling(SB ) by using optical coherence tomography( OCT).Methods 50 eyes of 50 patients with macular-off RD were retrospectively analyzed , including 25 eyes in high myopia ( HM) group and the other 25 eyes in emmetropes group.The best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) measurement and OCT scan through the fovea were taken in all pa-tients before and 1 week, 12 months after the surgery .Statistical analysis of the data was performed .Results There was correlation between HM and persistent SMF after SB .The persistent SMF sustained longer in the HM group (5.96 ±2.25)months than did those in the emmetropes group (3.75 ±2.21)months( P<0.05).There was no sig-nificant difference in the final visual acuity between the two groups .Conclusion HM seems to be related to persis-tent SMF after SB.HM may prolong the absorption time of SMF but not change the visual outcomes in the successful RD repair.
