“…20,21 The macular hole index that can reflect the prognosis of the surgery and its visual outcome has been gaining popularity among the publications on the macular hole and it's now been used as a useful predictor for the physiological outcome of MH. 22,23 The determination of the macular hole index as was obtained in this study are of easy application, therefore, the better outcome of the surgical procedure can be pre-operatively determined. The functional results found in this study are comparable to those of literature, 24,25 showing that MHI is a good predictive factor for FTMH surgery outcome.…”

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of macular hole index (MHI) as a predicting factor of visual outcome after full thickness macular hole surgery. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at LRBT Free Base Eye Hospital, Karachi from January 2018 to March 2019. Total 45 eyes of 45 patients with full thickness macular hole (FTMH) underwent preoperative Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) assessment with logMar chart and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanning, with measurement of base diameter and macular hole height. Values were calculated for the macular hole index (MHI), which was taken as the predictive factor. All patients had undergone 25+G trans-conjunctival three ports pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and endo-tamponade of C3F8 (14%). The final visual outcome of all the patients was noted. Results: Forty-five patients were included for the study, out of which 10 (22.2%) were male and 35 (77.7%) were female. Age ranged from 45-70 years (mean age 57.20±6.47 years). The mean pre-operative visual acuity was 2.46±1.15 logMar and was 3.88±2.00 logMar, post-operatively. Moreover, 27(60.0%) out of 45 patients achieved BCVA (gain of 2 lines of the logMar chart). The average macular hole index was 1.55±0.50 and out of 45, 25 patients had MHI ≥0.5. It was found that patients with macular hole index ≥0.50 showed clinically significant improvement in BCVA in comparison to those who have macular hole index <0.50. Conclusion: Macular hole index can be used to predict functional success in macular hole surgery. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.5.1995 How to cite this:Feroz L, Rizvi SF, Naz S, Khan MTH.
