Three groups were divided according to axial length (AXL): 26\u2013&lt;28 mm (n=43), 28\u2013&lt;30 mm (n=22), and \u226530 mm (n=11). Baseline characteristics and postoperative visual and anatomical outcomes were analyzed.\nRESULTS: Totally 76 consecutive eyes of 73 HM patients (27 males), with a mean age of 60.5\u00b19.2y (range: 38\u201384y) were enrolled. The initial best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the three groups was not significantly different (P=0.498). Longer AXL was associated with a higher incidence of both inner and outer macular retinoschisis (MRS), ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption, and foveal retinal detachment (all P&lt;0.05). Only the eyes in the 26\u2013&lt;28 mm group showed a significant improvement in postoperative BCVA. BCVA was improved in 77.6% of the eyes. Among the eyes with BCVA not improved, 58.8% belonged to the group 26\u2013&lt;28 mm. The postoperative macular hole was seen in 1 (1.32%) eye. Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that initial BCVA (P&lt;0.001) and epiretinal proliferation (P=0.010) influenced the final BCVA.\nCONCLUSION: AXL is not significantly associated with visual recovery. Early operative intervention might have better visual and anatomical outcomes in HM-ERM patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2026.06.12","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]],"date-time":"2026-05-18T08:10:26Z","timestamp":1779091826000},"page":"1117-1123","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Visual and anatomic outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery in highly myopic eyes with varying axial lengths"],"prefix":"10.18240","volume":"19","author":[{"name":"Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Science Key Laboratory, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730, China","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Han","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bi-Ying","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Science Key Laboratory, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730, China","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xi-Jin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Science Key Laboratory, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730, China","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qin-Lang","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Science Key Laboratory, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730, China","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Science Key Laboratory, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730, China","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7543","container-title":["International Journal of Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ijo.cn\/gjyken\/article\/pdf\/20260612","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]],"date-time":"2026-05-18T08:10:29Z","timestamp":1779091829000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ijo.cn\/gjyken\/article\/abstract\/20260612"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18240\/ijo.2026.06.12","relation":{},"ISSN":["2222-3959","2227-4898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2222-3959","type":"print"},{"value":"2227-4898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]}}}
