The foveoschisis reattachment and and best spectacle-correction were measured preoperatively and 2mo after surgery.<p>RESULTS: The improvement of foveoschisis reattachment and best spectacle-correction in the treatment group was significantly better than those in the control group(<i>P<</i>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling is a safe and effective treatment for foveoschisis in high myopia.
