Evaluation of post-operative foveal location and microstructural changes after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography.

Background: Patients who had successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery often complained of metamorphopsia due to postoperative fovea displacement and alteration of the foveal microstructure. The papillo-foveal distance (PFD) is correlated bilaterally. Therefore, PFD from the fellow healthy eye could be used to determine the change of foveal position in eyes with successful RRD repair.
