Macular Abnormality after Successful Surgery for IdiopathicMacular Hole Assessed Using Optical Coherence Tomography by Nazimul Hussain in Medical & Surgical Ophthalmology Research
Pars plana vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling (ILM) is the standard of management for full thickness macular hole. After the introduction of ILM peeling, the success rate of surgical management of macular hole has improved tremendously. Several studies have shown that internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in macular hole surgery causes changes in the macular thickness and decrease in retinal sensitivity [1-10].
Advances in optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology over the years have made possible to assess the macular morphology and thickness more accurately. It has also made possible to study the structures in the layer of the retina more accurately. With this objective, a study of macular changes after brilliant blue assisted ILM peeling for idiopathic macular hole was done using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
