    Abstract:

    AIM: To report the refractive outcomes after vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (phaco-vitrectomy) in idiopathic macular holes (IMH). METHODS: A total of 56 eyes with IMH (IMH group) that underwent phaco-vitrectomy and 44 eyes with age-related cataract (ARC group) that underwent cataract surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The best corrective visual acuity (BCVA), predicted refractive error (PRE), actual refractive error (ARE), axial length (AL), were measured in both groups before and 6mo after operation. The power calculation of IOL and the predicted refractive error (PRE) were calculated according to the SRK/T formula. The difference of PRE and ARE between the two groups were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: In the IMH group, the diameters of macular holes were 271.73±75.85 μm, the closure rate was 100%. The pre- and post-operative BCVA were 0.80±0.35 and 0.40±0.35 logMAR. The PRE of A-ultrasound and IOL Master in the IMH group was -0.27±0.25 and 0.10±0.66 D. The postoperative mean absolute prediction error (MAE) was observed to be 0.58±0.65 and 0.53±0.37 D in the IOL Master and A-ultrasound (P=0.758). The PRE and ARE of the IMH group were 0.10±0.66 D and -0.19±0.64 D (P=0.102). The PRE and ARE of the ARC group was -0.43±0.95 and -0.31±0.93 D (P=0.383). The difference between PRE and ARE was -0.33±0.81 and 0.09±0.64 D in the IMH and ARC groups (P=0.021). The proportion of myopic shift was 67.9% in the IMH group and 27.3% in the ARC group (P=0.004). CONCLUSION: The myopic shift can be observed in patients with IMH after phaco-vitrectomy.
