Abstract:AIM: To observe the mechanism and therapeutic effects of posterior scleral reinforcement operation in the treatment of pathological myopia.
METHODS: A total of 54 cases(86 eyes)with posterior scleral reinforcement operation in the treatment of pathological myopia were retrospectively analyzed. The preoperative and postoperative ocular axial length, refraction, visual acuity and complications were observed, and the treatment experience was summarized.
RESULTS:Patients were followed up for 2y, ocular axial length, refraction, and visual acuity, after 1, 3 and 6mo compared with the preoperative, there was statistical significance. After 1, 2y of ocular axial length and refraction compared with the preoperative, there was no significant postoperative corrected visual acuity compared with the preoperative, the difference was not statistically significant, no serious complications occurred.
CONCLUSION: Posterior scleral reinforcement operation surgery can effectively prevent and cure the progression of pathological myopia. It is an effective and safe operation method.
