Lee SM, et al. - After removal of the internal limiting membrane (ILM), researchers examined the displacement of foveal retinal layers in surgically closed macular holes (MHs). For this investigation, they retrospectively reviewed records of 26 consecutive patients who had vitrectomy and removal of the ILM for idiopathic MH. During the first 3 months, the center of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and inner plexiform layer (IPL) was displaced significantly toward the disc. The foveal center location was substantially correlated between the EZ and the IPL. After removal of the ILM, the fovea was displaced nasally and slightly inferiorly. The photoreceptor and inner retinal layers were simultaneously displaced.
