November 16, 2014 updated by: Zhi-zhong Ma, Peking University Third Hospital

The Influence of Postoperative Postures on the Incidence and Duration of Persistent Sub-foveal Fluid After Scleral Buckle for Macula-off Retinal Detachment

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether postoperative postures influence persistent sub-foveal fluid after scleral buckle surgery

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
duration of absorption of persistent sub-foveal fluid after surgery
Time Frame: Time from the date of operation until the date of absorption of sub-foveal fluid determined by OCT. The estimated period of time over which the event (absorption of sub-foveal fluid ) is assessed is up to 1 year.
time interval from surgery to the date of disappearance of sub-foveal fluid on OCT
Time from the date of operation until the date of absorption of sub-foveal fluid determined by OCT. The estimated period of time over which the event (absorption of sub-foveal fluid ) is assessed is up to 1 year.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
best corrected visual acuity
Time Frame: 6 months after surgery
6 months after surgery
