OCT exams were taken preoperatively and 1 mo after surgery, until SMF disappeared. According to the preoperative macular status on OCT, patients were divided into two groups: macula-off RRD(Group A) and maculaon RRD(Group B). In Group A, there were two subgroups: macula partly detached(Group A1) and macula totally detached(Group A2). The main outcome measures were the presence of SMF on OCT 1 mo after surgery, and the preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuities(BCVA), among the different groups and depending on the presence or absence of persistent SMF.RESULTS: A total of 139 eyes of 139 patients were included in the study. Persistent SMF at 1 mo after surgery was 15.8%(22/139), all occurring in Group A(22/101); Group B had no SMF at 1 mo after surgery(0/38, P=0.002). The incidence of persistent SMF at 1 mo after surgery in Group A1 was 50%(14/28), and in Group A2 was 11.0%(8/73, P〈0.001). Significant differences were shown between the presence and absence of persistent SMF on foveolaoff RRD, the preoperative BCVA, the 1 mo postoperative BCVA, and the degree of the BCVA improvement from 1 mo postoperatively to the final follow-up(P〈0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the final BCVA(P〉0.05).CONCLUSION: Persistent SMF after PPV for retinal detachment is associated with preoperative macular status. Macula-uninvolving RRD shows no persistent SMF after PPV. Macular partly detached RRD has a higher incidence of SMF than macula totally detached RRD after PPV. The persistence of SMF may be responsible for the delayed visual recovery, whereas there展开更多
