Abstract
PURPOSE: We performed vitrectomy on two eyes for persistent myopic foveoschisis (MF) after primary surgery that did not include internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. DESIGN: Interventional case reports. METHODS: Two highly myopic eyes of two patients with persistent MF after primary vitrectomy and gas tamponade but without ILM peeling were treated with pars plana vitrectomy, residual vitreous cortex removal, ILM peeling, and long-term gas tamponade. RESULTS: Total foveal reattachment was achieved and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved in both eyes. CONCLUSIONS: Reoperation including complete vitreous cortex removal and ILM peeling could be beneficial for patients with persistent MF after primary surgery, indicating that vitreous cortex removal and ILM peeling are critical in treating MF.
