Description
Lorenzo Motta leads a 2026 narrative review on imaging before surgery for macula-off retinal detachment. In this emergency the central retina has lifted away, and vision after repair varies widely. Surgeons need better ways to predict who will see well again.
Standard and swept-source OCT scans can reveal fine retinal layers, while OCT angiography shows small blood vessels. Adaptive optics imaging resolves individual cells, and ultra-widefield scans cover more of the retina at once. Computer analysis of images is also discussed as an emerging aid. Several measures look promising for grading severity and forecasting recovery. The authors caution that prospective validation is still missing. Eye surgeons can use the review to weigh which scans add real value today.
