spontaneously. DESIGN: Consecutive observational case series of three patients with …

OBJECTIVE: To compare results of surgery for idiopathic macular hole with and without
internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in a series of consecutive patients over a 5-year …

Objectives To determine the rate of anatomical closure of idiopathic macular holes
undergoing vitreous surgery with respect to preoperative horizontal diameter as determined …

thickness macular hole formation. Methods Both eyes of 76 patients with a full-thickness …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the results of macular hole surgery using pars plana vitrectomy,
internal-limiting membrane peeling, and intravitreous air in a series of consecutive patients …

Purpose.: To determine whether internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is effective and
cost effective compared with no peeling in patients with idiopathic stage 2 or 3 full-thickness …
