ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To examine the relationship between retinal sensitivity and the area of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during pars plana vitrectomy for a full-thickness macular hole.METHODS:
Twenty-four eyes a minimum of 6 months after temporal inverted flap pars plana vitrectomy for a full-thickness macular hole were included in the study. En face spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images were used to assess margins of the peeled ILM area. Microperimetry was performed to examine retinal sensitivity within the central 10°. Areas of peeled ILM in en face optical coherence tomography images were correlated with the average sensitivity threshold. Retinal sensitivities at the location of each measurement point were compared with structural abnormalities observed in en face spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images.RESULTS:
The mean retinal sensitivity in the area of ILM removal was significantly lower compared with the area of preserved ILM (24.29 ± 3.96 dB vs. 26.19 ± 2.10 dB, P < 0.0001, respectively). The peeled ILM area showed a negative correlation with the average sensitivity threshold (r = -0.56, P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
A larger area of ILM peeling during temporal inverted flap pars plana vitrectomy for a full-thickness macular hole is related to lower retinal sensitivity in the central macula.
