PURPOSE: To report on the use of human amniotic membrane for macular holes at 2 Canadian tertiary care centers. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Twenty-two patients with persistent or chronic macular holes. METHODS: Macular hole surgery was performed by 3 vitreoretinal surgeons. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Macular hole closure with complete plugging by human amniotic membrane on spectral-domain OCT. RESULTS: The closure rate was 91% (20 of 22; median follow-up, 7 months), with no statistically significant visual acuity change overall. Complications included subretinal silicone oil (5%), choroidal neovascularization (5%), atrophy (5%), and cystoid macular edema (9%). CONCLUSIONS: Anatomical success with limited visual recovery was observed.
