RÉSUMÉ
Objective To observe the anatomical and functional changes in patients with different degrees of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) after vitrectomy.Methods It was a retrospective case series study.Forty-seven consecutive patients (47 eyes) diagnosed with MTM were studied between January 2010 and May 2014.There were 38 females (38 eyes) and 9 male (9 eyes),mean age was (65.13±6.98) years,mean axial length was (29.23±1.77) mm.The eyes was divided into 3 groups according to the macular morphologies on optical coherence tomography (OCT),including macular retinoschisis only group (MRS group,18 eyes),foveal retinal detachment group (FD group,13 eyes) and full-thickness macular hole group (MH group,16 eyes).All the eyes underwent minimum resolution angle in logarithmic (logMAR) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,axial length,A or B-ultrasonography,fundus photography,OCT and microperimetry examinations.The average logMAR BCVA of 47 eyes was 1.43±0.52.The center retinal thickness (CRT) of eyes in MRS and FD group was (528.45± 167.61) μm.All the patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane peeling.The mean follow-up period was 23.4 months.The changes of logMAR BCVA,microperimetry and macular microstructural were observed.Results At the final follow-up,the logMAR BCVA of 47 eyes was 0.86 ± 0.42,which improved compared with the preoperative vision (t=7.36,P＜ 0.001).The mean CRT of eyes in MRS and FD group was (250.90 ± 91.81) μm,which improved compared with the preoperative CRT (t=8.17,P＜0.001).In MRS group,the retina was attached in 18 eyes.In FD group,the retina was attached in 11 eyes,MH was observed in 2 eyes.In MH group,recurrent retinal detachment was observed in 1 eye.The differences of logMAR BCVA and retinal sensitivity among MRS,FD and MH groups were significant (x2 =6.38,11.08;P=0.030,0.004).Conclusion The macular structural and visual function in MTM eyes with macular retinoschisis only after vitrectomy are better than those in MTM eyes with MH and foveal retinal detachment.
