Retinal detachment (RD) resulting from the macular hole (MH), also known as MH-induced RD (MHRD), most commonly occurs in eyes with high myopia and results in irreversible visual disorders. Although ILM peeling for MHRD reportedly achieves a high retinal reattachment rate that ranges from 70% to 100%, the MH closure rate is relatively low, ranging from 10% to 70%.
