Macula off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and its functional recovery.

• Conditions: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is an ocular condition in which the neuroretina has detached from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. This may result in lasting problems with visual function, even if the retina becomes reattached through surgery. Problems may include reduced visual acuity, metamorphopsia, and reduced contrast acuity. These problems occur more frequently when the centre of the retina, the macula, is involved in the detachment.
