Autofluorescence Imaging in the Long-Term Follow-Up of Scleral Buckling Surgery for Retinal Detachment

Table 1

Overview of the qualitative autofluorescent changes seen in fovea-on and fovea-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after scleral buckling surgery.

Autofluorescent changes:
No obvious changesHyperfluorescent SRF within the vascular arcadesGranular changesHyperfluorescent SRF and granular changesAlternating hyper-/hypofluorescent streaksHyper-/hypofluorescent scar

Fovea-on detachment (total, 43)3319000
Fovea-off detachment (total, 30)3917731

SRF = subretinal fluid. One eye was subjected to pars plana vitrectomy and peeling for a secondary epiretinal membrane and developed alternating hyper-/hypofluorescent streaks after the later surgery (not included in the table).
