Ophthalmology and Therapy received a letter in regards to the study “Influence of Postoperative Posture on Macular Slippage after Macula-Off Retinal Detachment: A Randomized Controlled Trial” [1]. The authors of the letter highlighted this study’s similarity to another paper published by the same author group in the journal Ophthalmology Retina “How to Prevent Retinal Shift after Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair” [2].

Following this, the reader’s letter [3] and author’s response and clarification [3] have been published in Ophthalmology Retina. The letter and response clarify the distinction between the two studies, which were based on the same patient group. In order to avoid duplicating the letter and response in Ophthalmology and Therapy, links are provided below:
