Visual Acuity and Optical Coherence Tomography One Year After ILM-flap Transposition

Visual Acuity and Optical Coherence Tomography One Year After ILM-flap Transposition for Surgical Repair of Macular Holes

ILM-flap (internal limiting Membrane-flap) transposition is a new surgical option in repair of macular holes, therefore one year outcomes are needed to better evaluate that method.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Macular Hole
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: optical coherence tomography

Detailed Description

Patients that have been scheduled for vitrectomy with ILM-flap transposition, a new surgical option in repair of macular holes, are invited to a follow-up one year after surgery, including optical coherence tomography and visual acuity testing.

How is the study designed?

Number of groups / cohorts

1

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
ILM-flap; Patients after surgical repair of macular holes with ILM-flap transposition are invitied to a follow-up for optical coherence tomography and visual acuity testing one year after surgery	Device: optical coherence tomography; optical coherence tomography enables diagosis of macular structures and therefore provides information on macular hole closure.; Other Names: visual acuity test

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
OCT	macular hole closure is assessed with optical coherence tomography	5 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
visual acuity	visual acuity describes functional outcomes of the eye	5 minutes
