Purpose: To evaluate foveal microstructural changes in eyes with anatomically successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs).Design: Retrospective, consecutive, observational case series.Participants: Fifty-three eyes of 51 consecutive patients with macula-on RRDs (15 eyes) or macula-off RRDs (38 eyes) after anatomically successful surgical repair.Methods: A microscopic fundus examination was conducted followed by Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) to assess the postoperative foveal microstructure. The correlation between the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and microstructural findings at the fovea was evaluated.Main Outcome Measures: Images of the foveal microstructure obtained by FD-OCT and the BCVA measured on the same day.Results: We obtained FD-OCT images a mean of 10.3 +/- 7.3 months (range, 1-25) postoperatively. Foveal anatomic abnormalities were detected in 33 eyes (62%); disruption of the junction between the photoreceptor inner and outer segments (IS/OS) in 23 eyes (43%), of which 9 eyes (39%) had a disrupted external limiting membrane (ELM); residual subretinal fluid in 6 eyes (11%), epiretinal membranes in 12 eyes (23%), and cystoid macular edema in 2 eyes (4%). Disruption of the photoreceptor IS/OS junction was observed only in macula-off eyes, whereas other microstructural abnormalities were observed in both macula-on and macula-off eyes. In preoperative macula-off eyes, the postoperative BCVA was significantly correlated with the integrity of the photoreceptor IS/OS and ELM signals detected by FD-OCT postoperatively (r = 0.805; P
