Purpose. To report the anatomic and visual results of a new sutureless illuminated macular buckle designed for patients with macular hole retinal detachment related to high myopia (MMHRD). Design. Prospective nonrandomized comparative interventional trial. Methods. Twenty myopic eyes of 20 patients (mean age, 51.4 years; range, 35–65 years) presenting with MMHRD with a posterior staphyloma, in whom the new buckle was used, were evaluated. The buckle used was assembled from a 5 mm wide sponge and a 7 mm wide silicone tire; it was fixed utilizing the sterile topical adhesive Histoacryl Blue (B Braun, TS1050044FP) which polymerizes in seconds upon being exposed to water-containing substances. The primary outcomes measured included aided visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. The mean follow-up period was 6 months. Results. Postoperatively, the MH closure was identified by OCT in 8 (40%) eyes. The mean BCVA increased from 0.11 to 0.21 (p<0.005). The axial length of the eyes included decreased from 30.5 mm preoperatively to 29.8 mm (p=0.002) postoperatively. Conclusion. Preparation of the new sutureless macular buckle is simple and easy. Illumination of the terminal part of the buckle ensures proper placement. Histoacryl Blue is effective in fixing the buckle in its place for at least 6 months with no reported intra- or postoperative complications.

Background/aimsTo investigate the surgical outcomes of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) using genipin-cross-linked sclera to treat macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes.MethodsNineteen patients with high myopia (19 eyes) with MHRD were treated sequentially with genipin-cross-linked PSR and were followed at least for 1 year after the surgery. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), optical coherence tomography (OCT) outcomes and the complications were evaluated.ResultsMacular hole was closed in 73.7% of the eyes, foveal reattachment rate was 100%. The mean logMAR BCVA improved from 1.27±0.55 preoperatively to 0.88±0.55 postoperatively. The preoperative AL (29.88±1.97 mm) was decreased (27.73±1.84 mm) after the operation (p<0.001).ConclusionsFor at least a 1-year period of follow-up, PSR with genipin-cross-linked sclera should be considered as a preferred surgical approach to treat MHRD in highly myopic eyes, especially when foveal retinoschisis is also documented.

Purpose To evaluate the prophylactic effect of krypton yellow laser for the treatment of macular holes in high myopic eyes in order to reduce the risk of retinal detachment. Methods Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients with high myopia and macular holes were randomly assigned to two groups. Fifteen patients (group A, 15 eyes) were subject to laser photocoagulation around the hole margin along with an oral placebo (vitamin B1), while 12 patients (group B, 12 eyes) were only given the oral placebo (vitamin B1). The incident rate of retinal detachment due to macular hole and the mean best-corrected visual acuity of the two groups before and after treatment were measured. The data were statistically tested by X2 test and Student’s t test. Results The incident rates of retina1 detachment in group A and group B were 20%(3/15) and 58.3%(7/12), respectively (X2=4.201, P0.05). The mean BCVA of group B on the initial examination was 24/200, while the mean BCVA at the final follow-up was 30/200 (P>0.05). No significant difference in initial visual acuity (P>0.05) or final visual acuity (P>0.05) was found between the two groups. Conclusion Krypton yellow laser photocoagulation could reduce the incidence of retinal detachment due to a macular hole in high myopia with acceptable functional results in this study.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy combined with scleral shortening for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis. METHODS: Thirty-seven patients with myopic macular retinoschisis who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with scleral shortening were reviewed. Axial length (AL), the height of macular retinoschisis, the height of retinal detachment if existed, the diameter of macular hole if existed and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were obtained. The preoperative and postoperative parameters were compared. RESULTS: At postoperative 24mo, the mean AL and height of macular retinoschisis were reduced significantly by 0.79 mm and 256.51 μm (t=8.064, P<0.0001; Z=-5.086, P<0.0001) respectively. In addition, the mean height of retinal detachment and diameter of macular hole were also reduced significantly by 365.38 μm and 183.68 μm (Z=-4.457, P=0.000008; Z=-2.983, P=0.003) respectively. Meanwhile, the postoperative BCVA was improved markedly (Z=-2.126, P=0.033). CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with scleral shortening is an effective surgical method for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis, whether or not macular hole and retinal detachment are present.

Abstract Background To determine the long-term prognosis of lamellar macular holes (LMH) in highly myopic eyes. Methods This was a retrospective observational study. Patients with LMH associated with high myopia (>-6 dioptres) were examined at regular 6-month intervals for a minimum of 36 months to detect for any structural and functional deterioration. Assessment included visual acuity checking, fundal examination, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning. The risk factors for visual deterioration and progression to full-thickness macular hole (MH) were analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The main outcome measures included the changes in mean best-corrected visual acuities, evidence of lamellar hole progression on OCT scans and complication rates of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH), and foveal detachment (FD) development. Results A total of 37 highly myopic eyes with optical coherence tomography confirmed LMH were recruited from 36 patients. The mean age was 63.4 ± 9.8 years and the mean spherical equivalent refractive error was − 9.01 ± 3.6 D with axial length of 27.74 ± 1.45 mm. The mean follow-up duration was 57.6 ± 10.9 months. The mean baseline visual acuity was 0.272 logMAR ± 0.22. A gradual decline in visual acuity was noted, and the change reached statistical significance from 36 months onwards. Visual acuity was 0.648 ± 0.41 logMAR at 36 months (p = 0.034) and 0.604 ± 0.455 at 48 months (p = 0.046). Twelve eyes (32.4%) had foveoschisis at baseline. Coexistence of a lamellar macular hole with foveoschisis was shown to be a risk factor for the development of a FTMH or FD (p = 0.002). Conclusion LMH in highly myopic eyes was generally stable, while a small proportion of patients progressed to full-thickness MH. Patients with coexisting LMH, foveoschisis, and vitreomacular traction had a higher risk of visual decline and progression to full-thickness MH.

Purpose: To evaluate the risks that might be associated with recurrent macular hole retinal detachment (Re MHRD) after silicone oil (S.O) removal in myopic patients with open flat macular hole (MH). Methods: In this retrospective series, we assessed the different factors that might be associated with recurrent MHRD after S.O removal in 48 eyes with open flat MH that underwent S.O removal after successful MHRD repair by dividing the enrolled eyes into 2 groups: group 1 included 38 eyes with flat open MH and flat retina after S.O removal and group 2 included 10 eyes with flat open MH and recurrent MHRD after S.O removal. Results: Ten of 48 eyes (20.8%) with open flat MH developed recurrent MHRD after S.O removal. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that MH at the apex of PS, MH minimum diameter, hole form factor (HFF) and MH index (MHI) were significant risk factors for recurrent MHRD after S.O removal in myopic patients with open flat MH. Conclusions: If there is a "flat open" MH that is large, located at the apex of PS or with HHF or MHI of less than 0.9-0.5, it has a high chance of recurrent MHRD after S.O removal.

Peripapillary Staphyloma

A healthy 4-year-old male presented a fundus examination with a unilateral contractile peripapillary staphyloma surrounded by redundant retina and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. Five years later, best-corrected visual acuity decreased to hand motion due to a retinal detachment with macular hole. One month after first vitrectomy, scleral buckle and intraocular gas, retina re-detached. Second surgery was performed with silicon oil tamponade and lensectomy without intraocular lens (IOL). Subretinal silicon oil was detected at the third month of follow-up when vitrectomy, inferior retinectomy, and laser photocoagulation of temporal border of staphyloma with silicon oil tamponade were performed. The retina remained attached and best-corrected visual acuity was 20/600 with intraocular silicon oil. A fourth surgery was performed for emulsified silicon oil extraction replaced with intraocular gas. At 6 months of follow-up, the retina re-detached again. This is a challenging vitreoretinal surgery in which re-detachments were due to retinal folds around the contractile staphyloma that raised macular hole. This is the first report of the combined presentation of contractile peripapillary staphyloma, retinal detachment and macular hole with a long-time follow-up period of years.

Myopic Macular Hole

Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy of silicone oil (S.O) reinjection without macular buckling for treatment of recurrent myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) after silicone oil removal.Methods. A retrospective consecutive interventional study from medical reports on cases of myopic MHRD. Fifty-three eyes of 51 patients underwent silicone oil removal after successful repair of MHRD were reviewed. The main outcomes were the retinal status after silicone oil removal and management of recurrent cases.Results. The rate of recurrent RD (Re RD) after silicone oil removal was 11.3% (6 out of 53 eyes). One case refused any other interference. In the remaining 5 eyes, 4 eyes (80%) could be reattached by S.O re-injection and one eye (20%) developed Re RD after S.O re-injection. Range of followup after management of recurrence was 5–53 months (mean 18.7 months).Conclusions. This case series concluded that the risk factors for recurrent RD after silicone oil removal from cases of myopic MHRD were high myopia, open flat MH, and large posterior staphyloma. Revision of vitrectomy and S.O re-injection can reattach most of recurrent cases.
