Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy of intraocular gas tamponade and macular grid laser photocoagulation to manage recurrent macular hole retinal detachment after an initially successful reattachment by gas tamponade in highly myopic eyes. Five patients with high myopia and macular hole retinal detachment were treated by gas tamponade at the initial operation. Gas tamponade and macular grid laser photocoagulation were performed to treat recurrent retinal detachment at the second surgery. Demographic information, anatomic reattachment of the retina, and final visual acuity were studied. Final successful retinal reattachment at the end of follow-up was obtained in all five eyes. Improvement of postoperative visual acuity with respect to preoperative visual acuity was observed in all patients. Intraocular gas tamponade and grid laser photocoagulation in the macula for the management of recurrent macular hole retinal detachment provides good long-term anatomic success and acceptable functional results.
