ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To review our experience with vitrectomy surgery techniques for the treatment of traumatic macular holes and the biomicroscopic and surgical findings.DESIGN:
Retrospective noncomparative, multicenter, case series. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION Twenty-five patients with traumatic macular hole underwent surgical repair. INTERVENTION Vitrectomy with membrane peeling and gas injection followed by prone positioning for 7 to 14 days. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Postoperative evaluation included visual acuity testing, closure of the macular hole, and ocular complications.RESULTS:
The macular hole was successfully closed in 24 of 25 cases (96%). The visual acuity improved two or more lines in 21 (84%) cases, and 16 (64%) achieved 20/50 or better vision.CONCLUSIONS:
Vitrectomy surgery can successfully close macular holes associated with trauma and improve vision.
