Effects of Macular Buckle Versus Vitrectomy on Macular Hole and Macular Detachment in Highly Myopic Eyes

October 8, 2018 updated by: Lin Lu, Sun Yat-sen University

A Randomized, Open Label, Single Center Study Comparing the Efficacy of Macular Buckle Versus Vitrectomy on Full-thickness Macular Hole and Concurrent Macular Detachment in Eyes With Highly Myopia

Full-thickness macular Hole associated with macular detachment is a one of the maculopathies of high myopia. There is controversy in the primary treatment for this situation. This study will compare the effects of macular buckling versus vitrectomy in a cohort of highly myopic eyes with this situation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A randomized, open label, single center study comparing the efficacy of macular muckle + gas injection versus internal limiting membrane peeling + gas tamponade on full-thickness macular hole associated with macular detachment in eyes with high myopia.
