Comparison of anatomical and functional outcomes of different surgical techniques in myopic macular hole without retinal detachment

AIM: To define the anatomic and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, inverted ILM flap and free ILM patch graft technique for the treatment of myopic macular hole (MH) without retinal detachment. METHODS: Sixty-four eyes of 64 patients who underwent PPV for myopic MH were included. Group 1 consists of patients underwent ILM peeling (n=26), and Groups 2 and 3 consists of patient underwent free ILM patch graft (n=20) and inverted ILM flap procedure (n=18) respectively. Outcomes following surgery were MH closure and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in logMAR at 6mo. RESULTS: Closure of MH was obtained in 20 eyes (76.9%) of the Group 1, in 16 eyes (80%) of the Group 2 and in 16 eyes (88.9%) of the Group 3. The mean preoperative and postoperative BCVA was 1.60±0.53 logMAR and 1.27±0.58 logMAR, respectively (P
