Ultrastructure Analysis of Excised Internal Limiting Membrane in Eyes of Highly Myopia With Myopic Traction Maculopathy

The excised ILM from 7 eyes of 7 patients with MTM including 7 eyes with macular retinoschisis and 4 eyes with foveal detachment but without any retinal break underwent vitrectomy with induction of posterior vitreous detachment and ILM peeling was examined to evaluate ultrastructure with electron microscopy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The inclusion criteria were patients who underwent vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling for myopic traction maculopathy and had a follow-up for more than 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

• The patients with follow-up less than 6 months
