Effects of posterior scleral reinforcement in pathological myopia: A 3-year follow-up study
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Mar 15, 2019
Peng C, et al. - In this study, 38 eyes of 26 candidates were researched to evaluate the consequences of posterior sclera reinforcement (PSR) in refractive issues, choroidal thickness (CT), and retinal thickness (RT) during a 3-year follow-up. They noticed significant disparities in axial length (AL), spherical equivalent (SE), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and CT in the PSR group vs the control group, at 2-year and 3-year follow-ups. They found a mild decline in RTs of the center subfield at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years postoperatively when compared with those at the baseline in the PSR group. They observed prominent impacts of PSR in restraining eyeball elongation, stabilizing vision, and strengthening the structure of the posterior pole 2 years or more postoperatively compared with the natural progress of pathological myopia.
