OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FINDINGS IN THE MACULA AFTER TREATMENT OF RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENTS WITH SPARED MACULA PREOPERATIVELY

Abstract

Subretinal fluid in a preoperatively uninvolved macula can be found after successful treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. If the fluid is located in the fovea, the visual acuity decreases and does not reach the preoperative levels. OCT identifies the presence of fluid and contributes to the study of the fluid's evolution.
