Inner Retinal Layer and Outer Retinal Layer Findings after Macular Hole Surgery Assessed by means of Optical Coherence Tomography

Figure 2

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of dissociated optic nerve fiber layer (DONFL). B-scan OCT (a) illustrates the presence of a localized defect in the retinal nerve fiber layer and the underlying ganglion cell and inner plexiform layers in a patient who underwent macular hole repair surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling. A strong association with ILM peeling has been proved by different reports. (b) The color-coded altitude map shows a relative thinning of the retinal layers.
