METHODS: A search was conducted using Pub Med, EMBASE, and CENTRAL(Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) for related studies published before October 2018. RESULTS: A total of 29 studies and 2514 eyes were included in this network Meta-analysis. For IMH closure, the rank from the best to the worse treatment was: BBG, TB, TA, ICG, and no dye. There was a significant difference in postoperative IMH closure rate between BBG and no dye. The rank of the best to the worse treatment to improve visual acuity was: BBG, TB, no dye, TA, and ICG. The improvement rate of visual acuity after using BBG was significantly higher than ICG. The improvement rate of visual acuity was more favorable with TB than ICG, TA, and no dye. CONCLUSION: BBG can contribute to better anatomical and functional outcomes compared to other dyes for ILM peeling in patients with IMH. The results show that the best treatment of ILM peeling with dyes is BBG.展开更多

The fellow eye was nonvitrectomized. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1(29 eyes) treated with ERM and ILM peeling and group 2(33 eyes) with only ERM peeling. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), slit-lamp, and a dilated fundus examination was performed. IOP was measured with Goldman applanation tonometer before, day 1 and first week and each visit after surgery. The incidence of significant IOP elevation was compared between vitrectomized eyes and nonvitrectomized fellow eyes.RESULTS: Visual improvement was statistically significant and similar in both groups(P=0.008 in group 1, P=0.002 in group 2, P=0.09 inter-group). The amount of decrease in central macular thickness was statistically significant and similar in both groups(P=0.005 group 1, P=0.008 group 2, P=0.37 intergroup). At the final follow-up(14.1±9.6 mo) the incidence of significant IOP elevation was 4% in vitrectomized eyes(three eyes) and 3%(two eyes) in the nonvitrectomized fellow eyes(P=0.12). Four eyes(12.1%) had recurrent ERM after a mean follow-up of 8.6±1.1 mo in group 2, there was no recurrence in group 1(P=0.01).CONCLUSION: Recurrence of ERM may be decreased by ILM peeling during ERM surgery. However, it seems that ILM peeling do not affect the functional outcome and 23-gauge PPV alone do not have a significant effect on IOP.展开更多

文摘AIM: To report the long-term surgical outcomes of pathologic myopic foveoschisis(MF) following vitrectomy.METHODS: We performed a retrospective case series analysis of 50 consecutive patients diagnosed with MF who experienced vision loss due to progression of foveoschisis.The 50 patients(67 eyes) were treated in our hospital with vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane(ILM) peeling from December 2004 to September 2010.Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),refractive error,optical coherence tomography(OCT),and routine examination results were analysed.The changes of BCVA,foveal anatomical features on OCT scan,and complications were the main outcome measures.RESULTS: The mean follow-up duration was 42±17mo(range 24 to 93mo).BCVA improved significantly postoperatively(0.76±0.65 logM AR) compared with preoperative baselines(1.31±0.78 log MAR,P〈0.0001),and in 53 eyes(79%) including 3 lines gain in 44 eyes(66%) at the last follow-up visit.OCT scans showed that central retinal thickness decreased from 580.0±270.0 μm preoperatively(n=67) to 179.7±84.7 μm postoperatively(n=58,P〈0.0001).Total resolution of foveoschisis occurred in 41 eyes(61%).Preoperative BCVA correlated well with postoperative BCVA,whereas other factors such as age,axial length,and refractive error were not correlated.The most common complications were cataract and full-thickness macular hole formation in 14 and 9 cases,respectively.CONCLUSION: Patients with progressive vision loss due to MF who were treated with vitrectomy with ILM peelingshow favourable outcomes.In most eyes,visual acuity and foveal structure remain stable during long-term observation.
