| Summary: | <h4>Purpose</h4>To investigate pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors influencing postoperative visual acuity, degree of metamorphopsia, and retinal sensitivity after vitrectomy in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and foveal detachment.<h4>Methods</h4>We reviewed retrospectively 33 consecutive eyes of 32 patients, who underwent vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with foveal detachment between August 2018 and October 2020 and obtained retinal reattachment. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics were comprehensively analyzed using multivariate models to evaluate the presence of factors influencing best-corrected visual acuity, vertical/horizontal metamorphopsia scores using M-CHARTS (Inami & Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), and retinal sensitivity using the MP-3 (NIDEK Co., Aichi, Japan) at 1-year postoperatively.<h4>Results</h4>Preoperative total retinal detachment was the only factor significantly associated with worse best-corrected visual acuity at 1-year postoperatively (β = 0.589, P<0.001). Intraoperative internal limiting membrane peeling (β = 0.443, P = 0.003) and longer duration after recognizing visual dysfunction (β = 0.425, P = 0.005) were significantly associated with higher vertical metamorphopsia scores at 1 year. The horizontal metamorphopsia score was significantly related to the duration after recognizing visual dysfunction (β = 0.457, P = 0.008). The disappearance of the EZ line on optical coherence tomography at 3 months postoperatively (β = -0.638, P<0.001) was significantly associated with lower retinal sensitivity at 1 year.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our study findings suggest that best-corrected visual acuity, metamorphopsia, and retinal sensitivity at 1 year after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with foveal detachment are influenced by distinct factors. |
