Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Full-thickness macular hole is a visually significant condition with a very high surgical anatomical closure rate. Areas covered A literature review was performed focusing on surgical techniques for macular holes. What is known about the underlying anatomy and pathophysiology of macular hole formation is applied to surgical techniques that address the mechanisms for hole closure. Expert opinion While anatomic and functional success can be achieved at high rates, much is yet to be learned about the molecular and microstructural changes resulting from surgical manipulation. These insights will help guide novel techniques for complex cases which still suffer from suboptimal surgical outcomes.
期刊介绍：
The worldwide problem of visual impairment is set to increase, as we are seeing increased longevity in developed countries. This will produce a crisis in vision care unless concerted action is taken. The substantial value that ophthalmic interventions confer to patients with eye diseases has led to intense research efforts in this area in recent years, with corresponding improvements in treatment, ophthalmic instrumentation and surgical techniques. As a result, the future for ophthalmology holds great promise as further exciting and innovative developments unfold.
