Table 2
OCT changes in eyes before macular surgery, in early and long-term postoperative time.
| Before MH surgery | After MH surgery | OCT changes | Number of eyes (%) | OCT changes | Early follow-up | Long-term follow-up | Number of eyes (%) | Number of eyes (%) |
| Cystic cavities | 39 (88.6%) | Residual cystic cavities | 7 (15.9%) | 3 (6.8%) | Elevated edge of the hole | 28 (63.6%) | IS/OS junction defects | 35 (79.5%) | 28 (63.6%) | Proliferations of RPE | 38 (86.3%) | ELM defects | 27 (61.4%) | 19 (43.2%) | ā | Retinal thinning | 11 (25%) | 14 (31.8%) |
