Prevalence of Idiopathic Macular Hole in a Specialized Ophthalmological Referral Center: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study (2018-2022)
Our study provides insight into the prevalence of IMHs in a Hispanic population. Its findings are similar to those published for other populations. The observed prevalence emphasizes the importance of proactive screening for IMHs in older patients, especially if they are women. Clinical markers such as the Watzke-Allen sign are helpful in the early detection of IMHs.
