Scanning laser ophthalmoscope microperimetry after idiopathic macular hole surgery. (a) One month after surgery without ILM peeling showing normal retinal sensitivity and no deep microscotomas in the central 9 degrees of the visual field. (b) Two months after surgery with ILM peeling showing decreased mean retinal sensitivity and deep absolute and relative microscotomas in the central 9 degrees of the visual field [8].
