Abstract

Traumatic macular hole is a serious disease that causes visual damage. Vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and intraocular air tamponade have good results in hole closure and visual acuity improvement. The purpose of the study is to evaluate factors related to treatment outcomes. We performed surgery for 61 eyes with traumatic macular hole. As a result, 57.4% of eyes have visual acuity increased by 2 lines or more, macular hole closed in 80.3% of eyes at 12 months after surgery. Macular hole cysts are associated with better postoperative visual acuity. Macular holes without subretinal fluid provide better closure of the macular hole. Small minimum diameter of macular hole is associated with type 1 macular hole closure.
