There was no significant difference in the ages among the three groups ( 𝑡 test). *In the SB + PPV group, there were significantly more women than in the PPV group (chi-square test). **In the SB group, macular off was significantly increased compared to the PPV group ( 𝑡 -test). ***Final VAs were significantly improved compared to the SB and PPV + SB groups (paired 𝑡 -test). ****The mean times of diagnostic delay were significantly longer in PPV + SB and PPV than SB ( 𝑡 -test). SB: scleral buckling, PPV: pars plana vitrectomy, VA: visual acuity, RD: retinal detachment.
