Abstract:
In order to evaluate the hypothesis that macular internal limiting membrane peeling is useful for closing stages III and IV, but not stages II idiopathic macular holes, anatomic and functional surgical results are compared in a consecutive series of 54 operated eyes including 3 groups: 17 eyes with a stage II macular hole and 18 eyes with a stage III-IV macular hole without additional internal limiting membrane peeling, and 19 eyes with stage III-IV macular hole with additional internal limiting membrane peeling.
