CHARACTERISTICS AND SURGICAL OUTCOMES OF LASER-INDUCED FULL-THICKNESS MACULAR HOLES

Vitrectomy is effective in closing laser-induced MHs and improving VA. Preoperative factors including worse preoperative best-corrected visual acuity, choroidal depression, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser injury, and larger MH diameter and postoperative factors including failed MH closure, larger ellipsoid zone defect, and thinner foveal neuroretina at 6 months are predictive factors for worse final VA.
