All eyes with fovea-off RRD demonstrated retinal displacement, whereas 82% of fovea-on cases were displaced.

Inferior displacement was the predominant direction (80%), most commonly oriented inferotemporally.

Silicone oil tamponade was associated with reduced displacement severity and a higher rate of superior displacement compared with gas tamponade (P < 0.01).

Intraoperative perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) use was significantly associated with horizontal macular stretch (P = 0.04).

We identified 112 patients (MOGAD, 45[40%]; MS, 36[32%], NMOSD, 20[18%], idiopathic ON, 11[10%]) with 137 episodes of recurrent ON (median age, 39 years [range 12-78]; female sex, 81 [72%]).

Of patients with macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) measures during acute recurrent ON, those with preserved GCIPL (≥65 μm, n=36) showed greater RNFL thickness (mean 108 μm [65-368], p<0.0001) than those with thin GCIPL (<65μm, n=30; mean 65μm [50-84]).

All patients had ocular comorbidities, mainly glaucoma (n = 6) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (n = 5).

Best corrected visual acuity improved from a median of 6/30 (0.7 logMAR) to a median of 6/12 (0.35 logMAR) (p = 0.06); postoperative astigmatism measured 0.91 ± 2.19 diopters.

UBM demonstrated well-balanced PCIOL fixation with no difference between the horizontal and vertical tilt measurements (p = 0.84; p = 0.94; p = 0.62; p = 0.085).

There was a high negative correlation between BCVA improvement and residual lens tilt (r = -0.76, p = 0.037).

Mean age was 86.72 ± 7.18.

Third of the patients improved in ≥2 lines from presentation, all in the group of the pneumatic and TPA displacement.
