Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the preoperative and postoperative change in retinal sensitivity in relation to the distance to the retinal detachment (RD) in patients with fovea-on RD.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated 13 patients with fovea-on RD and a healthy control eye. Preoperatively, OCT scans of the RD border and the macula were obtained.

Purpose: To associate the change in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and vessel density (VD) with final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in eyes after macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery, and to investigate the evolution of FAZ and VD during 12 months of follow-up.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated 47 patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and healthy fellow eyes. At 1.

Purpose: To determine the impact of postoperative visual function on the vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) in patients after anatomically successful surgery for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to propose a classification to grade the extent of macular detachment using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.

Methods: This prospective study evaluated 48 patients. At 12 months after surgery, visual function assessments were as follows: metamorphopsia (M-CHARTS), aniseikonia (New Aniseikonia Test), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study [ETDRS]), low contrast BCVA (10% ETDRS), color vision (Hardy Rand Rittler), and stereopsis (Titmus Fly).
