Photoreceptor Inner/Outer Segment Defect Imaging by Spectral Domain OCT and Visual Prognosis after Macular Hole Surgery

Abstract

BCVA after MHS correlates with objectively ascertainable SD-OCT measurements of IS/OS defects and other features. The postoperative area of the IS/OS defect, when directly measured, correlates more strongly with BCVA than do linear-based measurements, perhaps because of the irregular shape of the IS/OS defect after surgery.
