It is reported that it mostly regresses spontaneously in one-year follow-up and has no effect on the final visual acuity. In this report, we present a case of PSF who developed after successful RRD surgery, in which, contrary to the general belief, subretinal fluid persisted and visual acuity was low at the 15th month follow-up despite the early postoperative treatments. The aim of this article is to consider PSF as a complication in patients with low visual acuity after successful RRD surgeries.
