Study Overview: This research looks at what affects recovery after eye surgery for people with a condition called myopic foveoschisis (MFS), which can cause vision problems in those with severe nearsightedness (high myopia). The study will last for 12 months and involve five visits to the Singapore National Eye Centre.
Who Can Join: We are looking for 30 adults aged 40-90 who have severe nearsightedness (worse than -6 dioptres and eye length over 26 mm) and require surgery for MFS due to worsening vision. Participants should be able to understand and provide consent for the study.
What's Involved: Participants will undergo eye surgery as part of their usual care. The study will not change the surgery but will include extra non-invasive tests, like vision checks and eye scans, to understand surgery outcomes better. Risks are similar to typical surgery, and information will be kept private.
- Duration: 12 months with 5 visits.
- Eligibility: Adults with high myopia and MFS needing surgery.
- Commitment: Standard eye surgery and extra tests during visits.
