Abstract: Optical coherence tomography(OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA) can be used to study the retinal microstructure and microvascular morphology of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD). OCT/OCTA parameters, such as retinal thickness, photoreceptor layer status, subretinal fluid, outer retinal fold, macular cystoid edema, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, preoperative macular state, retinal capillary plexus and foveal avascular zone, are related to visual function after pars plana vitrectomy of RRD. As a supplement to visual function examination, OCT/OCTA has important guiding value in the analysis and prediction of visual function after pars plana vitrectomy of RRD.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2021, 45: 506-512)
