RESUMEN
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical outcomes of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal in highly myopic eyes with retinal detachment caused by a macular hole. Nineteen, consecutive, highly myopic eyes with full thickness macular hole with retinal detachment were treated by vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal, endolaser photocoagulation on the center of the hole and fluid gas exchange. In five eyes with other peripheral breaks, scleral buckling (3 cases), encircling (1 case) and barrier laser (1 case) were combined. In 15 eyes (79.0%) the macular hole was closed after the initial surgery. In 4 eyes (21%) the macular hole was reopened, but these were successfully treated with fluid gas exchange (1 case) or macular buckling (3 cases). The visual acuity was improved in 15 eyes (79.0%). In conclusion, these results suggest that the removal of the perifoveal internal limiting membrane may be an important adjuvant in the treatment of the myopic macular hole with retinal detachment.

PURPOSE: To investigate the long-term outcome of patients with partially accommodative esotropia who had augmented surgery. METHODS: Twenty patients with partially accommodative esotropia who underwent augmented surgery were studied retrospectively. The amount of medial rectus recession was measured based on the average of the near deviation with and without spectacle correction. During the follow-up period, the changes of refractive error and angle of deviation were evaluated and the Titmus test and Worth 4-Dot test were performed. The follow-up period was at least 24 months. RESULTS: The average follow-up period was 51.6+/-18.16 months (28~86 months). Seventeen patients showed postoperative deviations of 10 PD or less, one patient was overcorrected, two patients were undercorrected. Sensory tests were performed in 17 patients. Worth 4-dot test resulted in a fusion response at far in 6 patients and at near in 8 patients. Titmus stereotest resulted in positive fly (3000 seconds of arc) in all patients and more than 80 seconds of arc in 3 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical overcorrection in patients with partially accommodative esotropia who had augmented surgery is not worrisome and augmented surgery provides some degrees of stereoacuity and fusion.

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of prior orbital decompression on the outcome of strabismus surgery in patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy. METHODS: The medical records of patients operated on for strabismus related to thyroid ophthalmopathy were retrospectively reviewed RESULTS: Thirty patients were included in this study. Seventeen patients had previously undergone orbital decompression, thirteen patients had not. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the average angle of preoperative horizontal or vertical deviation, the average numbers of muscle operated on, the percentage of unidirectional surgery and the outcome of strabismus surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The previous orbital decompression surgery has no significant effect on the outcome of strabismus surgery in patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy.
