Comparison of the effectiveness of vitrectomy with silicone oil or perfluoropropane tamponade for myopic foveoschisis with foveal detachment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Vitrectomy with silicone oil or perfluoropropane (C3F8) tamponade is a standard of treatment for myopic foveoschisis with foveal detachment (MFFD). In this study, we compared the pre- and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and maximum foveal thickness (MaxFT) of patients with MFFD who underwent vitrectomy with silicone oil or C3F8 tamponade.

Methods

All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examinations, including measurement of BCVA, axial measurement, optometry, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, and optical coherence tomography. Patients with MFFD were divided into two groups. All patients underwent with 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling, and fluid-air
