Abstract

Purpose: To analyse morpho‐functional foveal changes in eyes with lamellar macular hole (LMH) by an integrated assessment of short‐wavelength fundus autofluorescence (SW‐FAF) and microperimetry (SW‐FAF/microperimetry integrated assessment) before and after treatment with a technique of double‐inverted flaps of epiretinal proliferation (EP) and internal limiting membrane (ILM). Methods: Clinical and tomographic parameters were best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA), LMH size, central retinal thickness (CRT) and outer retinal layer integrity. SW‐FAF/microperimetry integrated assessment allowed to analyse retinal sensitivity (RS) and FAF status of the fovea by an overlay of RS map on SW‐FAF image. Follow‐up was at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 postoperative months. Results: Forty pseudophakic eyes. Hyper‐FAF area was associated with larger LMH size (p = 0.0073) and inversely correlated with CRT (p = 0.021). Lower preoperative RS was observed in hyper‐FAF than normo‐FAF areas (p = 0.0117). External limiting membrane (ELM) defect was associated with worse BCVA (p = 0.0004). After surgery, BCVA improved (p = 0.001) and it was related to ELM recovery (p = 0.00483), hyper‐FAF area decreased (p = 0.001), and RS increased (p = 0.440). Hyper‐FAF points that normalized their FAF were associated with higher RS improvement compared to unchanged points. Conclusion: Short‐wavelength fundus autofluorescence/microperimetry integrated assessment provides important information on the entity of damage of LMH and on postoperative recovery. Double‐inverted EP and ILM flap technique is safe and effective for LMH treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PM is associated with myopic maculopathy (MM). The ATN classification describes all the aspects of MM which regroups atrophic, tractional and neovascular consequences to the sclera, choroid and retina of highly myopic eyes. The advent of OCT allowed to define the ultrastructural characteristics of the tractional changes in MM, described by the term myopic traction maculopathy (MTM). They include foveoschisis/maculoschisis/retinoschisis (FS/MS/RS), retinal/foveal detachment (RD/FD), lamellar macular holes (LMH) and full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) with or without RD (MHRD). The MTM staging system (MSS) describes all foveal and retinal changes related to MTM and their natural history interpreting them as different stages of a single progressive disorder. The management of MTM can be just observation for the earliest cases with good vision or surgery for the severe stages with vision loss. There are two possible surgical approaches: ab externo, that acts on the alteration of the scleral shape and includes posterior scleral reinforcement and macular buckle. Ab interno, that targets the alteration of the foveal profile and consists in pars plana vitrectomy with removal of all the epiretinal tractions, maneuvers on the internal limiting membrane, and the use of intravitreal tamponade and laser. As they target two different sides of the same pathology, the two techniques have to be selected on the base of the MTM stage, single or combined.Keywords: pathological myopia, posterior staphyloma, retinal detachment, full thickness macular hole, macular buckle, pars plana vitrectomy, myopic traction maculopathy
