A three-step approach versus the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique in large full thickness macular hole surgery: a comparative study
Our three-step approach greatly improves anatomical and functional outcomes compared with IFT. This novel surgery has a dominant advantage in earlier and higher ultimate closure rate, U-type closure rate, and ELM recovery rate, and more importantly, better recovery of BCVA.
