Predicting Visual Outcomes for Macula-Off Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with Optical Coherence Tomography

Figure 3

Representative eyes with good and poor visual outcomes after surgery for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. (a) 65-year-old woman (preoperative decimal visual acuity: 0.7) with a good visual outcome (postoperative decimal visual acuity: 1.2). (b) 60-year-old woman (preoperative decimal visual acuity: 0.3) with a poor visual outcome (postoperative decimal visual acuity: 0.3). Preoperative photographs of the fundus, preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, and postoperative OCT images are shown on the left, center, and right, respectively. Preoperative foveal area was relatively thinner in the case with a poor outcome than in the case with a good outcome.
