Figure 2

Preoperative and postoperative fundus and OCT images. A 55-year-old woman with a MH in high myopia (a). The preoperative minimal and maximal MH diameters are 604 μm and 2,296 μm, respectively (b). The axial length is 27.8 mm and the decimal BCVA is 0.04. At postoperative week 2, the MH remains opens under the covered ILM flap (flap closure) (arrow) (c). At postoperative week 4, the MH edges form a bridge under the ILM flap (arrow) (d). At postoperative week 6, the MH is closed leaving a partially defective ELM and EZ (arrow) (e, f). The decimal BCVA is 0.1.
