Introduction : Macular hole (MH) can cause severe visual disturbance, but remarkable progress has been achieved in surgical treatment for eyes with this condition. Vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling allows a very high success rate for MH closure (approaching 90%). To compare characteristics patients with closed and unclosed macular hole after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery and internal limiting membran (ILM) peeling.
Method : This was retrospective study which data was obtain from patient’s medical records who underwent PPV and ILM peeling since July 1st to December 31th 2018.
Results : 27 eyes from 25 patients had MH surgery. 20 eyes (74%) had closed MH and 7 (26%) eyes unclosed MH after surgery. HFF value before surgery was 1,34 ± 0,90 and MHI was 1,09 ± 0,81 in closed MH. Meanwhile in unclosed MH, HFF value before surgery 0,53 ± 0,12 and MHI was 0,75 ±0,10. MHI ≥0,5 and HFF value ≥ 0,9 had a good prognostic factor.
Conclusion : Despite of good prognostic factor from OCT measurement and achieve anatomical success, foveal microstructure also important in visual recovery after MH surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
