Foveola nonpeeling technique in internal limiting membrane peeling of myopic foveoschisis surgery

摘要

Myopic foveoschisis is a unique complication of posterior staphyloma in highly myopic eyes. The formation of macular hole and posterior retinal detachment are well-known consequences of this unstable condition. Early stages of such degenerative changes can only be detected using the high-resolution imaging technique optical coherence tomography (OCT). Tangential traction is believed to be one of the main causes of the disease, along with anteroposterior traction. The significant role of vitreous and internal limiting membrane (ILM) traction is confirmed by the good results obtained by vitrectomy with gas tamponade and facedown positioning.
