About this study
Official title: Early Vitrectomy for Macular Tractional Maculopathy. Multicenter Clinical Trial
This study is designed to identify the effect of current vitreous surgery for symptomatic macular tractional maculopathy.
Characteristics of this study is as below
- Multicenter, prospective clinical trial. (early surgical intervention vs.surgical intervention when full-thickness macular hole formation or deterioration of visual acuity occurs)
- Non-randomized study (decision was made by patients after full explanation)
- After 1 year follow up, functional change(visual acuity)and anatomical change would be evaluated
Read the detailed description
Degenerative myopia is relatively common disorder, especially in Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
Choroidal neovascularization is well-noted cause of VA deterioration, but nowadays, with improvement of diagnostic tools, such as OCT, VA deterioration from myopic tractional maculopathy is being concerned as well.
But till now, the necessity of early vitrectomy on MTM is controversial. By now some clinicians prefer conservative treatment, which means pars plana vitrectomy would be postponed till structural change such as macular hole formation is noticed. And the others prefer early vitrectomy, which means pars plana vitrectomy should be performed when the symptom begins.
In this study, investigators try to verify the validity of early vitrectomy comparing conservative treatment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Early vitrectomyProcedure or surgery
Also called pars plana vitrectomy for macular tractional maculopathy
Triamcinolone acetonide assisted pars plana vitrectomy with Indocyanine green dye assisted internal limiting membrane peeling
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative treatment group | No intervention | Eyes which do not undergo early vitrectomy at the time of enrollment. Surgical intervention would be performed when full-thickness macular hole or vision deterioration occurs |
| Early vitrectomy | Experimental | Triamcinolone acetonide assisted pars plana vitrectomy with Indocyanine green dye assisted internal limiting membrane peeling Receives: Procedure: Early vitrectomy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Best Corrected Visual acuity
Measured: 48 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Rate of occurrence of full-thickness macular hole
Measured: 48 weeks
