However, LMH cases are not considered as an uniform clinical and pathological entity now by advancing retinal imaging techniques and since its fi rst description, its treatment has been evolved to use different surgical approaches following observation of 2 distinct clinical types of tractional and degenerative LMH with variations in clinical course and prognosis, responses to surgical treatment and identifi cation of different surgical protocols.
