title: Episcleral macular buckling for posterior retinal detachment in silicone oil filled eyes associated with myopic macular hole.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate anatomical and visual outcomes of episcleral macular buckling (EMB) for posterior retinal detachment in silicone oil filled eyes associated with myopic macular hole.
  
  
  METHODS
  Five cases of EMB for initial failure of retinal reattachment after internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and silicone oil tamponade caused by myopic macular hole were retrospectively reviewed. A silicone sponge sutured directly across the macular region was performed on the silicone oil filled eyes. Silicone oil was removed no sooner than 1 month post-EMB. The duration of follow-up time after removal of silicone oil was more than 3 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Retinas of five eyes were all reattached at the last follow-up. The postoperative vision ranged from counting fingers to 0.08.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Anatomical results improved after EBM for posterior retinal detachment in silicone oil filled eyes associated with myopic macular hole, which was not evident for visual outcome.
