Evaluation of Vitrectomy With ILM Peeling in Myopic Macular Hole With Only Posterior Retinal Detachment

Evaluation of Vitrectomy With ILM Peeling in Myopic Macular Hole With Only Posterior Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment (RD) resulting from the macular hole (MH), also known as MH-induced RD (MHRD), most commonly occurs in eyes with high myopia and results in irreversible visual disorders. Although ILM peeling for MHRD reportedly achieves a high retinal reattachment rate that ranges from 70% to 100%, the MH closure rate is relatively low, ranging from 10% to 70%.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with high myopia (a spherical equivalent refractive error of at least -6.0 diopters (D) and an axial length of at least 26.5 mm).
• Macular hole and only posterior retinal detachment

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other causes of RD
• Patients with a history of trauma, choroidal neovascularization, coexistence with a peripheral retinal break or proliferative vitreoretinopathy
• History of any vitreoretinal surgery prior to MHRD and less than 36 months of follow-up after the surgery
