“…As soon as central detachment is present, improvement of central vision often remains compromised on account of permanent functional damage to the fovea. Several studies have concluded that the final functional outcome after surgical repair of fovea-off RRD is time dependent [1][2][3]9].…”

“…In the management of foveal detachment, the time until surgery is the most important prognostic factor for final visual acuity (FVA) after reattachment [1,2]. Several factors, such as height of foveal detachment, age, and preoperative visual acuity, have been determined to have an impact on visual outcomes.…”

“…e duration of tolerable delay time for surgical intervention is a controversial and unresolved issue in the literature. e recommendation of maximum lag time until surgery varies from 1 to 10 days [1][2][3][4][5]. One common finding among previous studies investigating the delay of surgery is the extensive variation of FVA after repair of macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).…”

Purpose. To investigate the impact of surgical delay after the objectivation of the foveal status by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) on visual outcomes in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with foveal involvement. Methods. A retrospective dataset analysis of 508 eyes of 504 consecutive patients with primary RRD was performed. The primary outcome measure was the best-corrected visual acuity as a function of time between the assessment of the foveal status with SD-OCT upon initial examination at the department and RRD repair. Results. In total, 188 eyes (37.0%) had a complete foveal detachment and 31 (6.1%) eyes had a bisected fovea by the retinal detachment. A hundred eyes with total foveal detachment received surgery within 24 h and 65 eyes between 24 h and 72 h. Visual outcomes for eyes with detached fovea were significantly better when treated within 24 h (0.47 ± 0.39) compared with those treated between 24 h and 72 h (0.84 ± 0.66; p=0.01) after objectivation of the foveal status with SD-OCT. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in 174 (92.6%) eyes and scleral buckling surgery in 14 (7.4%) eyes with complete foveal involvement of RRD. Conclusions. Our findings suggest improved visual outcomes for patients receiving surgery within 24 h after a definitive diagnosis of fovea-involving RRD compared to surgical interventions that were further delayed.

“…In cases of symptom duration >10 days, functional outcome may be affected adversely [6][7][8][9][10][11] . A recent study concluded that eyes treated up to 3 days after onset of loss of central vision have better final visual acuity than eyes with longer lag time [12] .…”

Purpose: To investigate the effect of symptom duration in pseudophakic primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with or without macular involvement on functional and anatomical outcome during first-year follow-up. Procedures: Retrospective review of cases with pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair. Symptom duration, functional outcome, and redetachment rates were analyzed. Symptom duration was grouped (1-3, 4-7, 8-14, 15-30, >30 days) and correlated to outcome in the first year of follow-up. Results: 371 macula-off and 230 macula-on RRDs could be included. In macula-off RRDs, longer symptom duration was associated with higher redetachment rates (10-21%; p = 0.032). Patients presenting symptoms for less than 8 days showed significantly lower rates than those with a longer symptom duration (p = 0.046). In macula-on RRDs, symptom duration and outcome were not associated (p > 0.6). Conclusions: In macula-off RRD, early reattachment surgery is necessary to lower the risk for retinal redetachment. The aim in macula-on RRD is to prevent conversion to a macula-off situation.

Purpose: To investigate whether postoperative light sensitivity recovers completely to the level prior to the development of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after successful surgery. Methods: We retrospectively studied 44 eyes of 44 patients with RRD who were successfully operated and who underwent Humphrey central 30-2 perimetry postoperatively. The averaged total deviation in Humphrey perimetry in the reattached retina was compared with that of the horizontal or vertical counterpart in the preoperatively non-detached retina. Results: The averaged total deviation in the reattached retina was significantly lower than in its counterpart (p < 0.0001). The averaged residual loss of light sensitivity did not correlate with postoperative visual acuity (p = 0.8047) or with its change (p = 0.1242). Conclusions: Light sensitivity in the detached retina in eyes with RRD does not completely recover after successful surgery.
