In the LMH group, LHEP was associated with a more severe defect but didn't affect surgical outcomes. In the FTMH group, spontaneous hole closure was frequently noted. Despite small holes, disruption of IS-OS line was common after hole closure.
In LMH secondary to ERM with significant visual decrease, ERM and ILM peeling may improve BCVA. Postoperative gas tamponade is associated with better restoration of macular configuration. Final BCVA is related to an intact photoreceptor IS-OS junction rather than to the normalization of the macular contour.
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.
