Prediction of long-term visual outcome of idiopathic full-thickness macular hole surgery using optical coherence tomography parameters that estimate potential preoperative photoreceptor damage.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters that predict postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and are based on recent understanding of the pathomechanism of idiopathic full thickness macular hole (iFTMH) formation and closure.

Methods

A retrospective consecutive case series of patients who had macular hole (MH) surgery at our institution between 2016 and 2022 was performed. 32 eyes of 30 patients were selected with at least 12 months of follow-up, closed MH and good quality OCT at each visit. Univariate correlation analysis, multiple logistic regression with forward stepwise selection, and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) were used to identify the best predictors for postoperative BCVA at 6 and 12 months (M), and final (≥ 12 M) visits,
