Surgical interventions for lamellar macular holes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lamellar macular holes (LMHs) are small, partial-thickness defects of the macula defined by characteristic features on optical coherence tomography (OCT), including a newly recognised type of epiretinal membrane termed 'epiretinal proliferation'. There may be a rationale to recommend surgery for individuals with LMHs, particularly those with functional or anatomical deterioration, or poor baseline vision causing significant disability, to stabilise the LMH and prevent further visual deterioration; however, there is currently no evidence-based consensus.

Objectives

To assess the effect of surgical interventions on post-operative visual and anatomical outcomes in people with a confirmed LMH.
