Comparison of fovea-sparing and non-internal limiting membrane peeling for retinoschisis with foveal detachment in highly myopic eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the visual and anatomical outcomes of two different treatment strategies (non-internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and fovea-sparing ILM peeling) for retinoschisis with foveal detachment (FD) in highly myopic eyes.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Methods

Ninety-five eyes from 92 highly myopic patients with retinoschisis with FD were divided into two groups, including 44 eyes from 43 patients who received 23-gauge, 3-port vitrectomy without ILM peeling (group A) and 51 eyes from 49 patients who received vitrectomy with fovea-sparing ILM peeling (group B). All eyes also underwent cataract surgery.

Results

There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of sex, age, diopters, axial length (AL), or central foveal th
