Factors affecting visual recovery after successful repair of macula-off retinal detachments: findings from a large prospective UK cohort study.

From the identified risk factors that decrease the probability of achieving a post-operative visual acuity of ≤0.30 LogMAR, the most important modifiable risk factor was the duration of central vision loss. Recent macula-off retinal detachments should be repaired within 72 h of the loss of central vision.
