Description
Summary:Aim. To evaluate the structural and functional outcomes in patients who underwent macular hole (MH) surgery in the long-term follow-up. Materials and Methods. Forty-four eyes of 40 patients (28 females and 12 males) were examined. The examination included visual acuity, optical coherence tomography, and colour vision testing. The same evaluation was performed in 30 fellow eyes. Results. MH closure was obtained in 42 eyes (95.45%). There was no reopening of the initially closed MHs. In long-term postoperative examination, we observed IS/OS junction defects in 28 (63.6%) eyes and ELM defects in 19 (43.2%) eyes. We found that the IS/OS junction defects correlated with the diameter of the MH (p=0.016), whereas ELM defects correlated with both the diameter of the MH (p=0.001) and duration time of the MH (p=0.008). The presence of ELM defects in OCT was the cause of inferior BCVA in long-term observation time (p=0.004). The mean BCVA before the MH surgery was 0.15. It improved significantly both in early (p
