The safety and efficacy of posterior scleral reinforcement with bovine pericardial patch in progressive high myopia: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To observe the safety and efficacy of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) with a bovine pericardial patch in patients with progressive high myopia over a 1-year follow-up period.

Methods

Thirteen eyes of 11 patients with progressive high myopia who underwent the PSR surgery were followed up with measurements of axial length (AL), spherical equivalent (SE), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and intraocular pressure (IOP) at baseline, 1 and 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively.

Results

The preoperative AL (29.55 ± 1.43 mm) was decreased to 28.95 ± 1.48 mm at 1 month post-PSR surgery and elongated to 29.68 ± 1.45 mm at the end of the follow-ups. The SE decreased from - 15.13 ± 3.43 diopters (D) preoperatively to - 14.43 ± 4.07D at 1 month post-PSR surgery
