Fovea-sparing retinal detachments: Time to surgery and visual outcomes
2010, American Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :The physician has opportunity to approach the surgery without disrupting scheduled clinics and with a familiar staff. The health system may be afforded a better opportunity to deliver the care in a more cost-effective and less disruptive manner.18 It would seem reasonable that these findings could be extrapolated beyond RRD eyes undergoing scleral buckling to include all RRD treatment modalities.
Scleral Buckling Surgery after Macula-Off Retinal Detachment. Worse Visual Outcome after More than 6 Days
2007, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :The mean best-corrected postoperative VA of patients operated on the first day of macular detachment was the lowest of all patients in the immediate group. In Hartz et al’s study,15 the most important reason for performing immediate emergency surgery was the inability to schedule an operating room the next day, but patient characteristics also influenced how surgery was scheduled.10 In our series, the 2 patients operated on the first day of macular detachment had low preoperative VA, which can be one of the explanations for their worse visual outcome.
