AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare visual outcomes between macula-off and macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) based on how quickly they received surgery.
- It involved a review of visual acuity in 127 patients with macula-off RRD and 63 with macula-on RRD, all treated by the same surgeon using a specialized retina call block system.
- Results showed that macula-off patients who had surgery within 3 days after diagnosis had significantly better visual outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, indicating that quicker surgical intervention is beneficial.
Article Abstract
Background And Objective: To investigate visual outcomes for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) compared to macula-on RRDs based on duration from diagnosis to surgical repair performed by a single surgeon with access to a retina call block system.
Patients And Methods: A case-control study reviewing the visual acuity (VA) after surgical repair in consecutive macula-off ( = 127) and maculaon ( = 63) RRD comparison eyes that underwent primary RRD repair performed by a single surgeon with dedicated retina call block time.
Results: Our results revealed significantly improved VA in macula-off RRD eyes repaired within 3 days of diagnosis at 3, 6, and 12 months/last follow-up, and that duration from diagnosis to surgery is a predictor of VA at 3- and 12-month/last follow-up postoperative visits.
Conclusion: Our findings support the use of mechanisms that improve access to operating room time, such as a retina call block system, to expedite surgical repair access. .
