AB  - We used laser interferometry (LI) and a potential acuity meter (PAM) to predict 
      visual acuity after surgery for patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment 
      with macular involvement. Thirty one eyes of 31 patients with retinal detachment 
      were treated with scleral buckling procedures. Postoperative visual acuity was 
      correlated with preoperative measurements of the LI and PAM, preoperative visual 
      acuity by Landort's ring, and the estimated duration of macular detachment. The 
      correlation between the duration of macular detachment and the postoperative 
      visual acuity was not good (r = 0.55, p < 0.01). Although the preoperative visual 
      acuity showed a relatively good correlation with postoperative visual acuity (r = 
      0.62, p < 0.01), the results of the LI and PAM provided a better correlation (LI; 
      r = 0.73, PAM; r = 0.71). Our results suggest that the LI and PAM are useful to 
      predict the visual acuity after retinal reattachment in patients with 
      preoperative macular detachment.
