Myopic traction maculopathy is a general term for a class of diseases including vitreomacular traction, foveoschisis, and macular hole. Posterior staphyloma plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of myopic traction maculopathy. At present, there is no uniform standard for the timing and method of surgery for myopic traction maculopathy. Based on OCT examination, the classification of traction maculopathy and the degree of visual function damage are important basis for judging the timing of surgery at this stage. Pars plana vitrectomy has been widely used in the treatment of myopic traction maculopathy, but for those with a long axis, the operation is complicated and the effect is not ideal. Macular buckling can effectively alleviate the traction caused by posterior staphyloma, but this surgery has a certain learning curve for clinicians, surgical materials need to be improved and perfected, and more evidence-based medical evidence is needed. We believe that with the continuous clinical understanding of myopic traction maculopathy, surgical treatment will be more rationalized and better treatment results will be achieved.
