PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional outcome in a group of @entity1 treated with full macular translocation (FMT) with 360-degree retinotomy for treatment of @entity1020 ( @entity1020 ) with subfoveal @entity1940 . DESIGN: Consecutive interventional case series. METHODS: Fifty consecutive eyes (50 @entity1 ) with @entity1020 and @entity2295 who underwent a FMT in our department from January 1999 to July 2000 are included in this study. Compensatory muscle surgery, as described by Eckardt and associates, was performed on all the eyes. The median follow-up is 21 months (range, 12 to 36; SD, 5.4). RESULTS: The best-corrected postoperative visual acuity (BCVA) was improved by 2 or more Snellen lines in 33 eyes (66%) and remained stable (+/-1 line) in 14 eyes (28%). Only 3 eyes (6%) experienced a deterioration of the BCVA of 2 or more lines. The final BCVA was 20/50 or better in 32% of the cases; only 8 eyes (16%) had a final BCVA < 20/200. Thirty-four (68%) @entity1 are able to read newspaper print (3.3/10) with normal (+3 diopters to +4 diopters) or increased (+5 diopters to +8 diopters) reading ads. Other @entity1 are able to read with magnifying systems. Complications included proliferative @entity1715 (PVR) in 9 eyes (18%), recurrent @entity1940 in 5 eyes (10%), @entity892 in 3 eyes (6%), @entity548 in 2 eyes (4%), macular hole in 1 eye, and @entity735 . CONCLUSIONS: As 68% of the @entity1 in the study group regained reading vision with reading glasses, FMT can be considered an effective approach in cases of subfoveal @entity1940 . Further investigations are necessary to determine which @entity1 will have the most benefit from this complex therapeutic method.
