Evaluation of S-cone sensitivity in reattached macula following macula-off retinal detachment surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the recovery of short-wavelength sensitivity in patients who had undergone successful reattachment of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macular involvement.

Methods: Postoperative assessment of the visual acuity and the visual fields by standard achromatic automated perimetry (SAP), and short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP, Humphrey visual field analyzer; macula test pattern) was performed on 12 patients after the macula was reattached. The follow-up period was up to 12 months.
