Abstract

Purpose: Published data on long-term macular perfusional findings and qualitative vessel density (VD) evaluation of myopic foveoretinal detachment (FRD) are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the OCT angiographic findings after uncomplicated successful macular surgery in fully surgically resolved myopic FRD. Methods: Between October 2016 and April 2020, an interventional, single-surgeon case series was conducted involving three structurally fully resolved highly myopic eyes with FRD. Long-term postoperative spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and functional and follow-up perfusion evaluations with SD-OCT and OCT angiography were performed. The main outcome was long-term structural and macular perfusion status after successful surgical resolution of myopic FRD. Results: The mean evolution time of myopic FRD was 7.33 ± 3.68 months. The mean follow-up time was 59.3 ±12.20 months and the mean time for resolution of myopic FRD was 4.6 ± 1.98 weeks. Using a paired-samples permutation test, we observed that surgery was associated with a significant improvement in visual acuity: best-corrected visual acuity decreased from logMAR 0.88 ± 0.15 pre-surgery to 0.36 ± 0.20 post-surgery (P<0.0001). Qualitative VD evaluation patterns were lower in eyes post-surgery than in normal emmetropic and highly myopic eyes. The observed foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area was large and irregular in fully resolved myopic FRD. A lack of SD-OCT structural postoperative findings and better qualitative perfusion findings were associated with better final visual results. Conclusion: The results revealed postoperative microstructural abnormalities on SD-OCT with VD qualitative deficiencies in the superficial vascular complex of the macula with FAZ abnormalities in the three eyes.
