Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Group of 22 patients
Group of 22 patients who underwent vitrectomy due to macular hole
Microperimetry is a procedure to assess retinal sensitivity while fundus is directly examined; it enables exact correlation between macular pathology and corresponding functional abnormality.
The M-chart (Inami Co., Tokyo, Japan) is a diagnostic tool developed by Matsumoto to quantify the degree of metamorphopsia in patients with macular diseases.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
Time Frame: 1 to 6 months
Acuity is a measure of visual performance. The eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide the best corrected visual performance achievable
1 to 6 months
Amsler test
Time Frame: 1 to 6 months
The Amsler grid, consisting of evenly spaced horizontal and vertical lines, has been widely used since 1947 to test the metamorphopsia.
1 to 6 months
Central retinal thickness
Time Frame: 1 to 6 months
Quantitative thickness measurements derived from the "fast macular scan" algorithm report retinal thickness at several locations including the center point, central subfield, and 4 inner and 4 outer zones of the macula.
1 to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Retinal sensitivity
Time Frame: 1 to 6 months
Microperimetry is a procedure to assess retinal sensitivity while fundus is directly examined; it enables exact correlation between macular pathology and corresponding functional abnormality. It is a psychophysical method which is rapid, safe and non-invasive.
1 to 6 months
