Early macular holes with retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes.
OBJECTIVE
We present two cases with early macular holes (MH) complicated by retinoschisis and foveal detachment (RSFD).


METHODS
Case reports.


METHODS
A 46-year-old woman and a 70-year-old woman, both with high myopia, presented visual loss and a small MH associated with RSFD. Vitrectomy and gas tamponade were performed. However, both MHs enlarged postoperatively, resulting in progressive retinal detachment. Additional gas tamponade led to retinal reattachment. At the final visit, the MH was open in case 1 but closed in case 2.


CONCLUSIONS
Although the benefit of vitrectomy is uncertain, RSFD and MHs can be associated in highly myopic eyes.
