In-Depth Analysis of Preoperative OCT Markers as Prognostic Factors for Lamellar Macular Holes and Epiretinal Membrane Foveoschisis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify preoperative OCT markers that correlate with postoperative visual acuity (VA) changes in eyes with lamellar macular hole (LMH) and epiretinal membrane foveoschisis (ERMF) after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).

Design

Cross-sectional retrospective study.

Subjects

Patients seen at the Wilmer Eye Institute between 2011 and 2021 with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, or International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, code for "macular hole" that underwent PPV, and demonstrated all OCT criteria present for either LMH or ERMF based on the Hubschman et al (2020) classification.

Methods

OCT markers including hole dimensions, retinal layer continuity, and ellipsoid zone (EZ) convexity and pixelated intensity were qua
