Duration of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detechment Predicts Recovery of Retinal Sensitivity
The decision to reat d disease is often based on the presence or absence of symptoms, one prototype case being rhematogenous retinal dtechment. Detachement of the neural retina from the pigment epithelium is a major cause of anotamical and functional dysfunction of the retina, where retinal recovery is inversely related to duration of detachment. The purpose of retinal retachement is to effect recovery 0f the photoreceptors and pigment epithelium from degeneration. The aim of this study was to determine the critical duration of rhegmatogenous retinal detachement resulting in optimal recovery after retachment. A prospective study was conducted at a private in Yogya. Thirty five eyes were involved in this study. There months after reattachment, central retinal recovery was measured by means of a goldmann manual kinetic perimeter. The results showed that retinal recovery developed three months afte surgery if the of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was less than 28 days before surgery. The results were not significant if the onset of rhegmatogenous retinal retachment was more than 35days. Although the Goldmann manual kinetic perimeter can efficiently detect central retinal sensitivity, it should be supported by more senitive tools to evaluate the anatomy and function of the retina.
