Ultrahigh-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with Decreased Visual Acuity after Retinal Detachment Repair

The higher resolution of UHR OCT facilitates imaging of the IS/OS junction. Therefore, UHR OCT is able to confirm prior histopathologic findings that damage to photoreceptor outer segments may occur as a consequence of retinal detachment. This may explain poor postoperative visual acuity in eyes with anatomically successful repair.
