Abstract
We read with great interest the article by Chen and Yang, entitled “Inverted internal limiting membrane insertion for macular hole–associated retinal detachment for high myopia.” 1 Chen S.N. Yang C.M. Inverted internal limiting membrane insertion for macular hole-associated retinal detachment in high myopia. Am J Ophthalmol. 2016; 162: 99-106 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (76) Google Scholar The authors describe a new technique for treating macular hole–associated retinal detachment in high myopic patients. The idea seems interesting; however, there are some points that need further clarification. Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Insertion for Macular Hole–Associated Retinal Detachment in High MyopiaAmerican Journal of OphthalmologyVol. 162PreviewTo investigate the surgical outcomes of inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion in macular hole (MH)-associated retinal detachment (RD) in high myopia. Full-Text PDF ReplyAmerican Journal of OphthalmologyVol. 165PreviewWe appreciate the comments of Theodossiadis and associates on our article regarding the use of inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion technique to treat macular hole (MH)-associated retinal detachment in high myopia.1 In the article, we emphasized the importance of inserting ILM tissue of sufficient size to act as a bridge to facilitate hole closure. The technique could be used regardless of the size of the hole. In fact, the larger the hole was, the easier the secure insertion might be. Full-Text PDF
