    Abstract:

    AIM: To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy combined with scleral shortening for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis. METHODS: Thirty-seven patients with myopic macular retinoschisis who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with scleral shortening were reviewed. Axial length (AL), the height of macular retinoschisis, the height of retinal detachment if existed, the diameter of macular hole if existed and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were obtained. The preoperative and postoperative parameters were compared. RESULTS: At postoperative 24mo, the mean AL and height of macular retinoschisis were reduced significantly by 0.79 mm and 256.51 μm (t=8.064, P<0.0001; Z=-5.086, P<0.0001) respectively. In addition, the mean height of retinal detachment and diameter of macular hole were also reduced significantly by 365.38 μm and 183.68 μm (Z=-4.457, P=0.000008; Z=-2.983, P=0.003) respectively. Meanwhile, the postoperative BCVA was improved markedly (Z=-2.126, P=0.033). CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with scleral shortening is an effective surgical method for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis, whether or not macular hole and retinal detachment are present.
