Abstract
Background: Presently, the global prevalence of myopia and high myopia reaches approximately 1.95 billion and 277 million individuals, respectively. Projections suggest that by 2050, the number of people with myopia may rise to 4.758 billion and those with high myopia to 938 million. In highly myopic eyes, the occurrence of MF is reported to be as high as 8-33%.
Summary: This review comprehensively addresses the classification, pathogenesis, natural progression, concomitant pathologies, and therapeutic strategies for macular foveoschisis in highly myopic patients.
Key messages: In recent years, macular foveoschisis has emerged as a prevalent complication in individuals with high myopia, primarily resulting from the combination of inward traction by vitreoretinal adhesions and outward traction exerted by posterior scleral staphyloma on the retina. While some maintain partial visual stability over an extended period, others may progress to macular holes or even retinal detachment. For highly myopic patients with macular foveoschisis, the mainstay procedures are vitrectomy, macular buckle, and posterior scleral reinforcement. However, there is controversy about whether to perform inner limiting membrane peeling and gas filling.
期刊介绍:
''Ophthalmic Research'' features original papers and reviews reporting on translational and clinical studies. Authors from throughout the world cover research topics on every field in connection with physical, physiologic, pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biological aspects of ophthalmology. This journal also aims to provide a record of international clinical research for both researchers and clinicians in ophthalmology. Finally, the transfer of information from fundamental research to clinical research and clinical practice is particularly welcome.
