Comparison of macular buckling and vitrectomy for the treatment of macular schisis and associated macular detachment in high myopia: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the efficacy and safety of macular buckling and vitrectomy for myopic traction maculopathy showing macular schisis (MS) and associated macular detachment (MD) but without full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).

Design

Prospective, randomized, parallel, open-label study.

Methods

Patients were randomly assigned to either buckling or vitrectomy group. Macular buckling and intravitreal C3F8 gas injection were performed in the buckling group. Small gauge vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) and C3F8 gas tamponade were performed in the vitrectomy group. The patients were followed for 12 months.

Main outcome measures

Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 12 months.

Results

A total of 85 patients were randomized, 80 eyes were i
