Abstract:
We perfomed pars plana vitrectomy together with soft tipped extrusion needle and 23 gauge bent needle. After vitrectomy in 14 eyes of 11 patients of macular cyst, we observed visual acuity and progression of macular cyst to macular hole during follow-up period(average 27.4 months). In 10 out of 14 eyes(71%) visual acuity was improved, in 4 eyes(29%) visual acuity revealed no change. However in all 14 eyes decreaced vision after surgery was not observed. None of 14 eyes have progressed to macular hole during the follow-up period.
