Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate surgical intervention with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for correction of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M).
Patients and methods
Retrospective chart review from 13 centres of 51 eyes of 50 patients with ODP-M who underwent PPV between 2002–2014. Anatomic and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcomes were evaluated for all cases with different adjuvant techniques.
Results
There were 23 males and 27 females with median age 25.5 (6–68) years. Preoperative median foveal thickness was 694.5 (331–1384) μm and improved to 252.5 (153–1405) μm. Median BCVA improved from 20/200 (20/20000 to 20/40) to 20/40 (20/2000 to 20/20) with 20/40 or better in 31 eyes. Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in 44 eyes (86.3%) at 7.1 (5.9) months. The good surgical outcomes were achieved in different adjuvant groups. Median follow-up was 24 (6 to 120) months.
Conclusions
These results confirm the long-term effectiveness of PPV for ODP-M. Prospective studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of any adjuvant technique in improving the success of PPV for ODP-M.
