Abstract;We performed optical coherence tomography(OCT) in 27 eyes which underwent surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macular involvement. Transscleral surgery had been performed in 19 eyes and vitreous surgery in 8 eyes. Even after apparent retinal reattachment in the early postoperative period, OCT showed the presence of submacular fluid in 12 of 19 eyes(63%) treated by transscleral surgery and in 1 of 8 eyes(13%) treated by vitreous surgery. The difference was significant(p<0.05). The findings show that subclinical macular detachment may be present in spite of apparent successful surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
