| Research Abstract |
Macular hole and retinal detachment is one of major vision-threatening problems especially in Japan, since we have many visual impairment due to high myopia. We investigated and found that epiretinal fibrosis is a main cause of macular hole and retinal detachment by way of myopic foveoschisis. Also indocyanine green dye which is used intraoperatively for staining internal limiting membrane remains long after surgery especially in axonal flow and retinal pigment epithelium.
