GUERRA GARCIA, Roberto Alejandro et al. Microperimetry and optical coherente tomography in patients operated on by the convencional retinal detachment surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

INTRODUCTION: A descriptive study was made to determine the visual acuity, microperimetry and optical coherence tomography in patients operated on by the conventional rhegmatogenous retinal detachment at "Ramon Pando Ferrer" Cuban Ophthalmologic Institute from October 2006 to March 2007. METHODS: Twenty six patients, who had gone to the hospital with normal values in ophthalmoscopy and biomicroscopy and three-six months of disease development. Better corrected visual acuity, fixation, average sensitivity, morphology and macular thickness were obtained after surgery. RESULTS: Average visual acuity was 0,41 and fixation was stable in most of patients; average retinal sensitivity was 11 decibels. The most frequent finding was serum detachment. Average macular thickness was 246,3 micras. There was no statistical relation between preoperative time of disease development and the macular characteristics of detachment in these tests. CONCLUSIONS: The functional and anatomic state of the retina was not completely recovered and may be monitored based on microperimtery and optical coherence tomography.
