All data presented as mean ± standard deviation (range was also presented for duration of follow-up). Values within square brackets refer to the number of eyes with available data for analysis. CMT: central macular thickness; IOP: intraocular pressure; BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; MH aperture diameter: the diameter at the narrowest point; MH base diameter: the base diameter of the macular hole; FU: follow-up.
