Purpose:
|
To report the structural changes of the retina after macular hole surgery.
|
|
Methods:
|
A prospective non-comparative review of a consecutive series of 20 patients (20 eyes) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal for macular hole repair. Retinal OCT before and 1 and 6 months after operation were performed in all cases for macular structure measurement. The main outcome measures were postoperative visual acuity, macular hole status, central and average thickness changes of macula.
|
|
Results:
|
There was no statistically significant improvement of postoperative visual acuity after 6 months (P = 0.217). The macular hole was closed in 19 eyes (95%) at the end of 6 months follow-up. Macular structure anatomy returns to normal after successful surgery at the last follow up with statistically significant reduction of average and central macular thickness (P < 0.001).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Despite the great result of anatomical success rate after macular hole surgery with membrane peeling, there was no statistically significant improvement of postoperative visual acuity after 6 months. This may result of irreversible damage of macula in course of the disease.
