Abstract in brief

Use of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) during vitrectomy for macula-off retinal detachment does not significantly affect the development of macular folds or metamorphopsia, with similar anatomical and functional outcomes observed in both PFCL-assisted drainage and partial subretinal fluid drainage without PFCL.
Both techniques showed comparable reattachment rates (~97-95%) and improvements in vision, with no significant difference in metamorphopsia scores, although a slightly higher percentage of patients reported metamorphopsia in the PFCL group.
Since no added benefit was found in using PFCL regarding metamorphopsia or morphological outcomes, its use should be carefully considered due to potential toxicity risks and reserved for selected cases where its advantages outweigh the drawbacks.
