Purpose: To investigate the incidence of unintentional macular displacement by using fundus auto-fluorescence
(FAF) imaging in eyes undergoing PPV for repair of primary rhegmatonous retinal detachment (RRD) and
tamponated with either silicon oil (SO) or gas, its association with symptoms of visual disturbance.
Methods: Prospective study including 40 eyes with fresh RRD. 3 port pars planavitrectomy was done with gas or
silicon oil tamponade. Three months after surgery macular displacement was evaluated by fundus autofluorescence.
Results: Of the 40 cases, After silicon oil removal or complete gas absorption, macular displacement was evaluated
by fundus autofluorescence fundus autofluorescence images showed retinal displacement in 11 eyes (27.5%) after
surgery. In SO group, 3 eyes showed retinal disp.. View More»
