Retinal Detachment
Conditions
Keywords
Aqueous Flare, Retinal Detachment
Brief summary
To examine and to compare the evolution of aqueous flare from presentation until the third postoperative month in a series of consecutive patients who underwent primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), in 4 groups of patients : * Group 1 : 48 eyes primarily treated with gas tamponade * Group 2 : 11 eyes primarily treated with silicone oil tamponade * Sub-Group G1RG : 8 eyes among Group 1 treated with gas after relapse * Sub-Group G1RS : 3 eyes among Group 1 treated with silicone oil after relapse
Interventions
OTHERAqueous flare measurement
Aqueous flare was measured preoperatively and postoperatively with a laser flare-cell meter (LFCM ; Kowa FM-500, Kowa Company Ltd, Tokyo, Japan).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in aqueous flare measurement (expressed as photon counts per millisecond and measured with a laser flare-cell meter) | preoperatively and postoperatively at 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery | Aqueous flare was measured preoperatively and postoperatively at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months with a laser flare-cell meter, in patients treated for RRD |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in aqueous flare measurement (measured with a laser flare-cell meter) | postoperatively at 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery | To describe the evolution of the aqueous humor flare between the postoperative visits at 2 weeks and at 3 months after retinal detachment surgery in each groups of patients. |
| Comparison of aqueous flare values (measured with a laser flare-cell meter) between patients who relapsed and patients who didn't relapse | preoperative | To compare the preoperative flare measurements between patients without versus with recurrence among those treated with gas |
| Evolution of measures of visual acuity | preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months | The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured with projected-light Snellen charts and expressed in logMAR. |
| Evolution of macular status | preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months | Evaluation of macular status with macular imaging by optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg Engineering) |
| Relapsing status (yes or not) | at 3 months postoperative | Determined by careful fundus and peripheral retina examination. |
