ILM Flap Transposition Versus ILM Peeling for Macular Holes: a Pilot Study

Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery20 enrolled

Overview

Patients with macular hole \<400µm will be randomized for ILM flap Transposition and ILM Peeling for surgical repair of macular holes

Patients with macular hole with a diameter larger than 400µm have better sucess with ILM flap transposition, but there are no data published examining the outcome of macular hole with a diameter \<400µm. Therefore, patients with macular hole with a diameter \<400µm will be randomized for ILM flap transposition and ILM peeling for surgical repair of macular holes
