Aim: To report the long-term outcome of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) followed by vitrectomy for pathologic myopic foveoschisis (MF).

Methods: The records of 27 patients (44 eyes) treated with posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) followed by vitrectomy for pathologic MF were retrospectively reviewed. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive error, axial length, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings and complications were analyzed.

Background: Treatment of recurrent retinal detachment (re-RD) following vitrectomy (post-gas/air tamponade and post-silicone oil removal) is challenging. Previously reported treatment is commonly revision pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with tamponade, which is invasive and a burden both economically and emotionally when compared with scleral buckling (SB). The purpose of this study is to report anatomical and functional outcomes of SB with or without gas tamponade in eyes with recurrent retinal detachment (re-RD) that previously underwent PPV at least once.

Purpose: To compare the visual and anatomical outcomes of two different treatment strategies (non-internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and fovea-sparing ILM peeling) for retinoschisis with foveal detachment (FD) in highly myopic eyes.

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Ninety-five eyes from 92 highly myopic patients with retinoschisis with FD were divided into two groups, including 44 eyes from 43 patients who received 23-gauge, 3-port vitrectomy without ILM peeling (group A) and 51 eyes from 49 patients who received vitrectomy with fovea-sparing ILM peeling (group B).

Aim: To investigate the effect of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) on circulation of pathologic myopia eyes with posterior staphyloma by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods: The study included 30 pathologic myopia eyes with posterior staphyloma which underwent PSR (PSR group) for 6 to 18mo ago, and 30 age and myopia matched eyes without PSR surgery as control group. Macular, choriocapillaris and radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) flow density were measured by OCTA, and the measurements were compared between groups.

Purpose: To determine if it is necessary to peel inner limiting membrane during vitrectomy for macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes.

Methods: This retrospective noncomparative interventional case series included 112 eyes of 84 patients with myopic foveoschisis who were treated by 23-gauge 3-port pars plana vitrectomy. During vitrectomy, triamcinolone acetonide was injected into the vitreous cavity to visualize the vitreous.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of surgical posterior scleral reinforcement in extremely myopic patients (axial length ≥30 mm) with myopic foveoschisis.

Methods: The retrospective interventional case series study included patients with an axial length ≥30 mm, posterior scleral staphyloma, and myopic foveoschisis, who were treated either by posterior scleral reinforcement and 23-gauge 3-port pars plana vitrectomy (posterior scleral reinforcement group) or by vitrectomy (vitrectomy group) alone. All eyes additionally underwent cataract surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of retinal detachment with choroidal detachment.

Methods: 13 the patients (13 eyes) of retinal detachment with choroidal detachment were chosen and triamcinolone acetonide 0.1 ml (4 mg) were administrated via intravitreal injection through pars plana.
