Long-Term Anatomic and Functional Outcomes after Macular Hole Surgery

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%)
		Retinal thinning	11 (25%)	14 (31.8%)

OCT, optical coherence tomography; MH, macular hole; RPE, retinal pigment epithelium; IS/OS junction, photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment junction; ELM, external limiting membrane.
