Microperimetric Biofeedback Training after Successful Inverted Flap Technique for Large Macular Hole.

ABSTRACT: Background: Despite the high closure rate of large macular hole (LMH) after surgery, visual recovery is often worse than expected. Microperimetric biofeedback can improve visual function in macular pathologies. We evaluated the efficacy of biofeedback on macular function after successful inverted flap technique for LMH. Methods: In this prospective comparative study, 26 patients after LMH surgical closure were enrolled. The whole sample was equally divided into two groups. In Group 1 (trained), patients underwent a double cycle of microperimetric biofeedback, using structured light stimulus plus acoustic tone; in Group 2 (control), patients underwent scheduled visits. We analyzed visual acuity, retinal sensitivity at central 12° (macular sensitivity, MS) and 4° (central macular sensitivity
