Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • High myopia presents significant challenges, often leading to retinal detachment.
  • Current surgical treatments for macular buckling can be costly.
  • Effective anatomical and visual outcomes are crucial for patients with high myopia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a novel, low-cost surgical technique for macular buckling.
  • To provide an alternative to expensive commercial implants for high myopia patients.
  • To address central retinal detachment in the context of high myopia.

Main Methods:

  • A novel macular buckling technique utilizing silicon encircling bands was developed.
  • A 10-mm silicon strip was used to enhance posterior scleral indentation.
  • The buckle was inserted posteriorly, avoiding rectus muscle detachment, and placed under microscopic visualization.

Main Results:

  • Successful reattachment of the central retina was achieved in patients during long-term follow-up.
  • The technique eliminated the need for rectus muscle detachment.
  • Patient visual acuity remained stable throughout the follow-up period.

Conclusions:

  • This customized macular buckle technique offers an effective solution for anatomical restoration.
  • It provides a low-cost alternative for treating central retinal detachment in high myopia.
  • The technique shows promise for improving patient outcomes in complex retinal cases.
