Sector mapping method for 3D detached retina visualization

The main surgical repair options for retinal detachment include pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, and combined pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckle [1 –3]. The suitability of a repair option and the effectiveness of an operation highly depend on the accurate location of the retinal detachment. However, it is hard to clearly observe the whole retina because it is attached to the inside of the eyeball, and doctors commonly observe a part of the re tina through the pupil using an ophthalmoscope or other medical instrument.
