Macular hole edge morphology predicts restoration of postoperative retinal microstructure and functional outcome
BMC Ophthalmology Jul 16, 2020
Tao J, Chen H, Zhu L, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective case series study to examine the ability of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) during macular hole (MH) surgery to image different hole edge configurations and predict the restoration of retinal microstructure and visual outcomes. Participants in the study were 53 MH patients. During MH surgery, the novel use of iOCT confirmed the presence of hole edges configured as door-holes, foveal flaps, or neither. The data acquired by iOCT may provide valuable predictive information for the postoperative restoration of the retinal microstructure and visual outcome of MH, particularly large ones.
