Postoperative Recovery of Light Sensitivity in Eyes with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.
PURPOSE: To investigate whether postoperative light sensitivity recovers completely to the level prior to the development of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after successful surgery.
METHODS: We retrospectively studied 44 eyes of 44 patients with RRD who were successfully operated and who underwent Humphrey central 30-2 perimetry postoperatively. The averaged total deviation in Humphrey perimetry in the reattached retina was compared with that of the horizontal or vertical counterpart in the preoperatively non-detached retina.
RESULTS: The averaged total deviation in the reattached retina was significantly lower than in its counterpart (p < 0.0001). The averaged residual loss of light sensitivity did not correlate with postoperative visual acuity (p = 0.8047) or with its change (p = 0.1242).
CONCLUSIONS: Light sensitivity in the detached retina in eyes with RRD does not completely recover after successful surgery.
