Abstract

AIM: This video is to describe is to give a complete overview about vitreo retinal surgeries in myopic eyes.

METHODS: Myopic eyes are more prone for retinal diseases like retinal detachment, myopic macular hole, vitreo macular traction and schisis. All these conditions warrants surgical management. Though vitreo retinal surgery is commonly performed surgery , performing surgery in myopic eyes are quiet challenging due to long axial length, posterior staphyloma, foveal schisis and need of modifications like planning the position of trocar insertion more posterior and need of few special instruments like myopic forceps and special staining like ICG. In this video , we describe 3 such cases of recurrent myopic macular hole which was managed effectively with ILM graft in one case, lens capsule in one case and retinal auto graft in other case along with temporal relaxing retinectomy . In all cases, anatomical closure was obtained and there was improvement in visual acuity.
