INTRODUCTJO·
Burton, (1982) published an important article on visual recovery in
macula-off retinal detachment after scleral buckling. He found that 75 % of
eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment have uncomplicated macula
off retinal detachment ’with poor preoperative visual acuity at presentation.
Burton (1982) demonstrated a progressive decrease in visual acuity after
scleral buckling beginning 00 the fifth day of macular detachment. One line
of snellen visual acuity was lost per SUbsequent week of macular
detachment up to 27 days. Afterward, one line of snellen visual acuity was
lost per additional 10 to II days period until 71 days, when 6/60 was
predicted as the average visual acuity outcome.
Ross and Eo”y, (1998) examined results after scleral buckling in
eyes with macula off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of 7 days or
fewer duration. They showed no statistically significant difference in
postoperative anatomic reattachment or visual outcome in eyes repaired
anytime within thefirst week of macular detachment.
Hassan et at; (2002) recently examined results after scleral buck! ing
to eyes with macula off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. They found
tbat visual acuity after scleral bucklingof 6/12 or better was seen in 71 %
of eyes with a duration of macular detachment of to days or fewer. These
results were better than the visual acuity in eyes repaired after tha .
