Surgical outcomes of macular buckling techniques for macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes.

Purpose: To report the anatomic and visual results following macular buckling for patients with macular retinoschisis related to high myopia.

Methods: Thirty-nine highly myopic eyes (mean refractive error -16.7 D; range, -9 to -24 D) of 36 patients (mean age 59 years; range, 35-79 years) presenting with macular retinoschisis associated with a posterior staphyloma, who underwent combined vitrectomy and macular buckling were evaluated.
