Chatziralli I, Chatzirallis A, Kazantzis D, et al. - In this prospective study, researchers sought to assess potential predictive factors of long-term postoperative outcome in patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). The sample consisted of 86 patients diagnosed with macula-off RRD, who underwent PPV. Increasing age, duration of RD more than 1 week, presence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, increasing central retinal thickness, ellipsoid zone disruption and external limiting membrane disruption were significantly correlated with worse BVCA. In order to educate patients about the prognosis and to assist in the decision-making of patient management, it is necessary to recognize predictive factors for visual outcome.
