Comparison of fovea-sparing and non-internal limiting membrane peeling for retinoschisis with foveal detachment in highly myopic eyes.

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).
