Klaas JE, Rechl P, Feucht N, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers introduced an ETDRS grid-based classification for macula involving retinal detachment (MIRD) with or without center (foveal) involvement and identified biomarkers in preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) associated with a favorable postoperative functional outcome in eyes with center involving retinal detachment (CIRD). One hundred and two eyes of 102 consecutive patients (f/m: 35/67) with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, preoperative evidence of MIRD (perifoveal involvement of ≤ 6.0 mm), and successful retinal surgery were involved. In the presence of foveal involvement (CIRD), the functional outcome after MIRD could be worse, but a lower grade of detachment and the absence of intraretinal edema may predict a good recovery despite CIRD.
