Macular buckling alone versus combined inverted ILM flap on macular hole-associated macular detachment in patients with high myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the efficacy of macular buckling (MB) alone against a combined internal limiting membrane (ILM) inversion flap for full-thickness macular hole (FTMH)-associated macular detachment (MD) in patients with high myopia.

Methods

This was a prospective interventional case series of patients with high myopia surgically treated with MB alone or combined with an inverted ILM flap for FTMH- associated MD. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at the 24-month postoperative follow-up, rate of initial retinal reattachment and macular hole closure were measured.

Results

A total of 62 eyes from 62 participants (33 in the MB group, 29 in the combination group) were studied. Postoperative BCVA improved significantly in both the combination group (P < 0.001) and the MB
