The SAC examination is a reproducible and rapid method for the comparison of the preoperative and postoperative metamorphopsia in patients undergoing pucker surgery and it may serve as an additional outcome measure.
Although macular pucker surgery resulted in an increase in vision and a decrease of metamorphopsia in 83% of patients after 1 year, we assume, based on the biased patient sample we questioned after 5 years, that subjective assessment would be positive in only a small majority of the patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
