Combined retinal massage and autologous blood covering for persistent macular holes after vitrectomy in high myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the efficacy of retinal massage combined with autologous blood covering in the treatment of persistent macular holes following vitrectomy in eyes with high myopia.

Settings and design

Retrospective, consecutive case series in a tertiary eye center.

Methods

A total of 12 highly myopic eyes with persistent macular holes after vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling received combined retinal massage, air/fluid exchange, autologous blood covering, and gas/silicone oil tamponade. Best-corrected visual acuity, axial length, and optical coherence tomographic images before and after the treatment were compared.

Results

The mean hole diameter before this intervention was 931.58 ± 244.58 μm (range, 508-1270), and the axial length was 30.39 ±
