  Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of vitreous surgery for high myopic eyes with myopic traction maculopathy.   Design: Comparative interventional case series.   Methods: 15 patients (eighteen myopic eyes) with MTM underwent vitrectomy and release of vitreoretinal traction and ILM peeling with gas (SF6) tamponade. Eleven eyes (61.1%) received a combined phacovitrectomy. Mean patients age was 54 years ,mean refractive error was -15.05 dioptric spherical equivalent and mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity was 1.25 log MAR (range 1.6 to 0.5). Mean follow-up was six months.   Results: Fourteen eyes (77.7%) of eighteen eyes had improvement in BCVA at last follow-up, mean improvement was 2.5 lines (0 to 6). Complete resolution of foveal detachment was seen in fourt.. View More»
