Autologous retina transplantation for refractory highly myopic macular holes: a long-term follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate long-term anatomical and functional outcomes of autologous retinal transplantation (ART) in refractory highly myopic macular holes (HMMHs).

Study design

Retrospective interventional analysis of 9 eyes with refractory HMMH undergoing ART.

Methods

Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, Snellen) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed at baseline and each follow-up visit (1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months and the most recent). Preoperatively, we collected minimum linear diameter (MLD) and basal diameter (BD). Post-operatively, central macular thickness (CMT), external limiting membrane (ELM)/ellipsoid zone (EZ) visibility, macular edema (ME) and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) atrophy were evaluated.

Results

Mean follow-up duration was 46.0
