RETINA

Purpose:

To investigate closure rates and functional outcomes of surgery for refractory and recurrent macular holes (MHs) in a real-world setting.

Methods:

Retrospective review of secondary MH surgeries.

Results:

A total of 72 eyes from 72 patients were included. Eyes had a mean of 1.51 surgeries before inclusion into this study with a mean MH size of 762 µm and a mean baseline logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity of 1.11 (∼20/260 Snellen). Closure rates were 89.3% for tissue transplantation, 77.3% for internal limiting membrane (ILM) flaps, 92.9% for MH manipulation, and 12.5% for repeat ILM peeling (P

Purpose:

To evaluate the long-term healing of the fovea following macular hole surgery in light of the processes known to occur during the maturation of the fovea during childhood, in which there is migration of the inner retinal layers away from and the photoreceptors toward the center of the macula.

Methods:

Consecutive patients with longer than 1 year of follow-up were evaluated with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The interinner nuclear layer distance, which was the separation across the fovea of the midpoints of the inner nuclear layers, and the ONL (outer nuclear layer) to RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) thicknesses were measured.

Results:

There were 22 eyes of 21 patients, 16 of whom were female; the mean age was 65.6 years. Initially, after the surgery, there was closure of the hole with continuity of the inner and middle layers of the retina across the previous macular hole. Over time, there was a migration of the inner retinal layers away from and movement of the ONL toward the center of the macula. The mean interinner nuclear layer distance increased from 352 µm to 549 µm (P = 0.001), and the ONL-RPE thickness increased from 77 µm to 146 µm (P
