Purpose: This study measure the changes in Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD) and Axial Length (AL) after scleral buckle (SB) surgery or Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) for the repair of rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RD).
Methods: 102 eyes of patients undergoing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair were prospectively reviewed. 49 eyes of 49 patients scheduled to undergo SB surgery and 53 eyes of 53 patients scheduled to undergo PPV. ACD and AL were measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and biometry, 1 day before surgery as well as 3 and 4 months postoperatively.
Results: ACD was not decreased significantly for patients undergoing PPV surgeries 3 months postoperative (p=0.0843) and 4 months postoperative (p=0.2616). ACD was observed to decrease significantly 3 months (p=0.029) and 4 months (p=0... View More»
