pubmed:abstractText |
Full-thickness macular holes generally cause a significant reduction in visual acuity, due in part to a rim of surrounding neurosensory retinal detachment and retinal thickening. Recent studies have suggested that flattening of this narrow rim of neurosensory detachment can result in improved visual acuity. However, the ability to flatten the neurosensory detachment is limited using current surgical techniques.
