Comparison of stereopsis and foveal microstructure after internal limiting membrane peeling and inverted internal limiting membrane flap techniques in patients with macular hole.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare stereopsis and foveal microstructure after internal limiting membrane peeling and inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique in patients with macular hole.

Design

Retrospective observational study.

Methods

Sixty-six patients with macular hole were included, of whom 41 underwent 25-gauge pars-plana vitrectomy with complete internal limiting membrane peeling (Peeling group) and 25 with the inverted flap technique (Inverted group). We evaluated stereopsis using the Titmus Stereo Test and the TNO stereo test, best-corrected visual acuity, macular hole closure rate, and foveal microstructure with optical coherence tomography before and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.

Main outcome measures

Stereopsis and foveal microstructure.
