Methods: Nine eyes in eight highly myopic patients who had myopic foveoschisis with foveal detachment underwent vitrectomy without ILM peeling followed by gas tamponade. Main outcome measures include change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and changes in height of the foveal detachment and resolution of the myopic foveoschisis measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results: After surgery, BCVA improved in eight eyes with the median BCVA improved from 20/80 to 20/50 (p=0.012). The mean line of visual improvement was 3.6 lines. OCT showed complete resolution of myopic foveoschisis with complete foveal reattachment in seven (77.8% ) eyes with partial resolution in two (22.2% ) eyes. The mean height of foveal detachment decreased from 505 μ m preoperatively to 21 μ m postoperatively (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Vitrectomy without ILM peeling followed by gas tamponade appeared to result in favourable visual and anatomical outcomes for treating myopic foveoschisis in highly myopic eyes. The results are comparable with studies in which ILM removal was performed. Further controlled study will be useful to determine the role of ILM peeling in these patients.展开更多
