Summary

High myopia is characterized by prolonged axial length and posterior staphyloma, which result in choroid-retinal degeneration and vision decrease. At present, vitrectomy can lead to anatomical improvements, but an higher axial length and the presence of a sever posterior staphyloma remains to be the two most important risk factors for poor visual outcomes. For these reasons, a different surgical approach, including macular buckling, might be considered in those patients with extremely high degree of myopia, in order to counteract the traction exerted by the posterior staphyloma. Macular buckling with or without pars plana vitrectomy had been proved to be an effective way to resolve myopic staphyloma related foveoschisis, macular hole, and associated retinal detachment. In this study, we sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of a macular buckling technique using a three-armed silicone capsule to support the posterior staphyloma in high myopia.
