Abstract
To demonstrate a modified technique of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL)/internal limiting membrane (ILM) interface staining in patients affected by macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in the setting of high myopia. Two-surgeon retrospective case series and review of surgical videos with step-by-step technique analysis. Our modified technique was proficiently employed to treat 9 highly myopic patients affected by MHRD. Successful staining and peeling of the ILM with the creation of an inverted flap was achieved in all cases. A limited number of dye injections required to stain the ILM was noted. No subretinal dye migration or other intra- and postoperative complications were recorded. Modified PFCL/ILM interface staining is a surgically efficient technique potentially reducing the risk of iatrogenic damage, including the toxicity of vital dyes to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in myopic MHRD.
