1. Detecting a macular hole or photoreceptor detachment is critical for obtaining good surgical results
   in patients with myopic foveoschisis. Patients with the foveal detachment type seem to benefit the most from
   vitrectomy. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) are valuable
   for managing these patients, said Yasushi Ikuno, MD, Osaka University Medical School, Osaka, Japan. (Read Full Article)
