Aims. To compare the surgical outcome of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) with and without lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP). Methods. This retrospective study included 158 eyes of 158 patients with FTMH treated with PPV. The following variables were analyzed: sex, age, preoperative best corrected visual acuity (pre-BCVA), BCVA 6 months after the surgery (6M-BCVA), the axial length of eye, the minimum diameter of FTMH, the diameter of basal side of FTMH, postoperative continuity of subfoveal ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM), and the preoperative presence of LHEP. Results. Twenty-eight eyes had FTMH with LHEP and 130 without LHEP. The mean ± SD age (years) was 72.6 ± 7.9 and 68.6 ± 8.7, respectively (p=0.02). 6M-BCVA was 0.38 ± 0.30 and 0.26 ± 0.25, respectively (p=0.03). The diameter of basal side of FTMH (μm) was 901.5 ± 404.9 and 658.9 ± 288.1, respectively (p=0.00027). EZ was disrupted in 24 eyes and 63 eyes, respectively (p=0.00071). ELM was disrupted in 15 eyes and 23 eyes, respectively (p=0.00015). The FTMH diameters and the presence of LHEP were inversely correlated with the continuity of EZ and ELM. Conclusion. The preoperative appearance of LHEP could be one of the prognostic factor for the treatment of FTMH.

Purpose: This article reports the clinical features, associations, and outcomes of patients with full-thickness macular hole (MH) formation after pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment (RD). Methods: A retrospective, interventional case series is presented of consecutive patients undergoing surgical repair of MH following prior tractional or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair from September 2014 to October 2018 at a single vitreoretinal surgery practice. The size of the MH, presence of epiretinal membrane (ERM), rate of MH closure, and visual outcome following repair were evaluated. Results: A total of 996 cases of rhegmatogenous and tractional retinal detachment repair were identified. The average time from the RD surgery to MH diagnosis was 72 days. The incidence of subsequent MH formation in patients who underwent surgery was 0.8% (8/996). The presence of ERM prior to MH repair was noted in 50% of these cases (4/8). In cases with at least 3 months of postoperative follow-up, MH closure was achieved in 100% of eyes after a single surgery. The mean preoperative visual acuity (VA) was 2.06 logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) units (Snellen equivalent, 20/2296) and significantly improved to 0.72 logMAR units (Snellen, 20/104; P = .017) at the last follow-up after MH repair. All patients had improvement in VA at the final postoperative visit, with a VA of 20/200 or better achieved in 87.5% of cases. Conclusions: Although MH formation after successful RD repair is uncommon, favorable visual and anatomic results can be obtained.

The exact pathogenesis of macular hole (MH) is controversial with most of the cases being idiopathic. Trauma is an important cause of secondary MH formation. MH post Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) is an even rare entity with only a handful of cases reported so far ( Kumagai et al, 2008; Smiddy W.E, 1993; Kimura et al, 2005). An even rarer event is spontaneous closure of post PPV full thickness macular hole (FTMH), though spontaneous closure of traumatic macular hole (TMH) has been reported before. Herein, we report a 26 year old male patient who developed FTMH post PPV that closed spontaneously.

Purpose: This article compares bilateral visual outcomes in patients receiving a vitrectomy in one eye for a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) who also received ocriplasmin treatment in the fellow eye for symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective study to assess the difference in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in patients receiving a vitrectomy in the eye with an FTMH and ocriplasmin treatment for the fellow eye with symptomatic VMA but no FTMH. Patients initially received either a single injection of ocriplasmin 0.125 mg for symptomatic VMA or a vitrectomy for FTMH. After the first eye was stable following the initial treatment option, the second eye was treated with the opposite modality. BCVA was measured at baseline, month 3, and month 6, with up to 2 years of additional follow-up. Results: Thirty-six eyes (18 patients) were included in the analysis. Eyes that underwent a vitrectomy for FTMH had a mean baseline BCVA of 20/123 and a final BCVA of 20/53. Eyes receiving ocriplasmin treatment for VMA had a mean baseline BCVA of 20/49 and a final BCVA of 20/33. The median time between the 2 treatments was 5.5 months. Eyes receiving ocriplasmin had a median time to VMA resolution of 4 weeks. Conclusions: Treatment with ocriplasmin showed successful resolution of VMA and improvement in BCVA, obviating the need for vitrectomy. The current study provides a framework for the treatment of patients with a current FTMH in one eye and VMA without an FTMH in the contralateral eye.

A pseudophakic female patient, 80 years of age, presented with a vitreomacular traction and foveal detachment at her right eye. To avoid development of a full-thickness macular hole during surgery, foveal-sparing ILM peeling was performed. After surgery, distance-corrected visual acuity increased from 0.3 to 0.6 (Snellen) 3 months after surgery and fovea was re-attached again with restoration of the retinal layers.

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.
