PURPOSE: To report the use of autologous fibrin for the treatment of persistent optic pit maculopathy. METHODS: The authors report two patients with an optic pit-related serous macular detachment, which persisted after vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling. Autologous fibrin was prepared from the patients' whole blood and injected over the optic disk pit area to seal the pit/coloboma area followed by fluid-air-gas exchange. RESULTS: Retina stayed attached starting from the first postoperative visit till the last visit at 27 (Case 1) and 14 (Case 2) months after surgery. CONCLUSION: The use of autologous fibrin for the treatment of optic disk pit-related serous macular detachment seems a worthy contribution to the treatment of persistent cases.
