To compare the success rate and the visual improvement of different surgical techniques for treating 21 retinal detachments due to macular hole in highly myopic eyes. METHODS:
twelve patients were treated by gas tamponade alone, 5 patients underwent vitrectomy with gas tamponade, 4 patients underwent vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane pealing and gas or oil silicone tamponade. fifty eight% of patients were successfully treated after gas tamponade alone, and 75% after vitrectomy, epiretinal membrane pealing and gas or silicone oil tamponade. After retreatment in 7 patients, the final reattachment rate was 80%. Visual acuity was inchanged in 12 cases, improved to 1/20 - 1/10 in 8 case and reached 3/10 in 1 case. A therapeutic scheme is suggested according to the type of retinal detachment, macular vitreoretinal traction and pigment epithelium and chorioretinal degeneration condition
