boisterous misfortune, until the notables and revolutionaries contributions of the Swiss retinologist Jules Gonin at the beginning of the XX century. Objective: to evaluate the microperimetry results in patients operated by retinal detachment. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive longitudinal study was conducted. The study universe was constituted by thirty-five patients diagnosed by retinal detachment in the ophthalmology consultation from November 2008 to May 2009. The non-probabilistic sample was constituted by twenty eyes, which were chosen by means of the established selection criteria; a survey was applied and variables like: age, sex, evolution time, visual acuity, stability and location of the fixation, medial sensibility and scotoma, were studied. Results: the male sex and the ages between forty-five and fifty years were the most frequent in the study, evolution time of detachment in the patients that prevailed was about one to two months, visual acuity was around 20/100 at the three months, the most frequent medial sensibility was between 20 and 7 dB between 16 and 13 dB, most of patients did not present central scotoma, the fixation that prevailed was stable and central predominant. Conclusions: medial sensibility and fixation did not show satisfactory values to the three months of having the patients operated of retinal detachment; anatomy and functions of the retina are not completely recovered in this period of time.
