Functional and anatomical outcomes after successful repair of macula‐off retinal detachment: a 12‐month follow‐up of the DOREFA study

Purpose To report visual and anatomical outcomes and determine predictors of good visual acuity (VA) recovery after macula‐off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). Methods Prospective multicentre study including 115 eyes from 115 patients successfully operated on for RD, with assessment of VA and spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) macular images at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Results Over the follow‐up period, VA significantly improved from median [IQR] 62 [46; 72] ETDRS letters at 1 month to 75 [67; 80] ETDRS letters at 12 months (p
