OCT is essential for differentiating between partial- and full-thickness holes, Dr. Charles said, but it cannot tell which partial-thickness holes will become full-thickness.

Partial-thickness hole is stage II of macular hole; in this phase about 70 percent of Stage II macular holes will progress.

New macular hole surgery technique may reduce prone positioning Surgically induced detachment of the posterior retina and gentle manipulation of the macula may allow early macular hole closure.

There are three stages to a macular hole: stage 1 (foveal detachments), stage 2 (partial-thickness holes), and stage 3 (full-thickness holes).

To investigate long-term retinal changes after microincision pars plana vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) for macular hole (MH) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients—retrospective and observational study.

Vitreomacular adhesion has a few treatment options. This article tells you if watchful waiting, an injection, or surgery is right for your VMA.

Vitreomacular adhesion can lead to pathologic traction and macular hole. The standard treatment for severe, symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion is vitrectomy. Ocriplasmin is a recombinant protease w ...

Among retina surgeons, there is an ongoing debate around the value and necessity of face-down positioning after macular hole surgery. Historically, patients with macular hole surgery would be ...

In a new study, stem cell therapy showed promise at treating small gaps in the macula, the central part of the eye's retina, which can cause distorted or blurred vision.

The three stages of macular hole are foveal detachments, partial-thickness holes, and full-thickness holes.
