Purpose: To evaluate if the presence of pathologic myopia could affect the result of macular hole surgery. Methods: This study was a retrospective comparison of the results of macular hole surgery between a pathologic myopia group (11 eyes) and a non-pathologic myopia group (14 eyes). All patients had undergone PPV, ILM peeling and C3F8 (20%) gas temponade. BCVA, IOP and OCT findings were evaluated preoperatively and at 6 months after surgery. Postoperative BCVA, IOP and macular hole closure were compared between each groups. Results: The only statistically significant preoperative parameter between the groups was axial length (p < 0.001). Postoperative BCVA was lower in the pathologic myopia group, but the difference was not statistically significant. The rate of macular hole closure was statistically significant higher in the non-pathologic myopia group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The presence of pathologic myopia may negatively affect the result of macular hole surgery.
