Objective To evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling without intraocular tamponade in the treatment of myopic foveoschisis. Methods Twenty-three eyes of 23 patients with myopic foveoschisis underwent vitreoretinal surgery were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients had undergone the examinations of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, slit lamp microscope, direct ophthalmoscope, A or B ultrasonic scan and optical coherence tomography(OCT).The mean BCVA was 0.02-0.4, mean diopter was (-14.1±3.8) D, mean axial length was (28.8±1.5) mm, mean central fovea thickness (CFT) was (573.2±142.8) μm. A standard 3-port pars plana vitrectomy (25-gauge system) was performed in all patients. There was no tamponade at the end of the operation. The follow-up varied from 6 to 28 months. The visual acuity, CFT, retinal reattachment and the complications were observed. Results At the latest follow up, there were 16 eyes (69.6%) were anatomically reattached, 4 eyes (17.4%) were partly anatomically reattached, 3 eyes (13.0%) were not reattached. Postoperative BCVA improved in 22 eyes (52.2%), unchanged in 9 eyes (39.1%), and decreased in 2 eyes (8.7%). No ocular complications such as macular hole, fundus hemorrhage, low or high intraocular pressure, endophthalmitis were found. Conclusion Vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling without gas tamponade can effectively treat myopic foveoschisis without ocular complications.
