Prognostic Factors Related with Surgical Outcome of Vitrectomy in Myopic Traction Maculopathy

PURPOSE: To investigate prognostic factors related to the surgical outcome of vitrectomy in myopic traction maculopathy (MTM). METHODS: Medical records of patients with MTM who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and follow-up over 12 months were reviewed retrospectively. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundoscopic examination and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings were evaluated postoperatively. Functional success was defined as visual acuity gain and anatomical success was defined as reduction or resolution of foveoschisis without complications. RESULTS: < 0.001) showed significant correlation with final BCVA. CONCLUSIONS: More severe myopic maculopathy and the presence of FD are associated with poorer functional and anatomical outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy in MTM. Better preoperative BCVA, shorter axial length, and less severe myopic maculopathy are correlated with better final BCVA.
