A novel standardized reproducible method to calculate the area of internal limiting membrane peeled intra-operatively in macular hole surgery by using a video overlay—A long-term study in cases of idiopathic macular holes

Abstract

Purpose: To calculate AIP and to find correlation between hole closure pattern with AIP in idiopathic full thickness macular hole (FTMH) cases. Methods: In this prospective, non-randomized, interventional single blind study, 105 eyes of symptomatic FTMH (400μ, n = 75) and Group II (3DD in both groups. Intra-operatively using video overlay, surgeons can increase the diameter of AIP to get better closure pattern.
