Macular hole development in fellow eyes of patients with unilateral macular hole.
Am J Ophthalmol
September 2005
Purpose: To determine the incidence of developing an idiopathic full-thickness macular hole in fellow eyes that have vitreofoveal attachments and perifoveal vitreous detachment in patients with unilateral idiopathic macular hole.
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional observational study.
Methods: The fellow eyes of 201 patients with full-thickness macular holes were examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Purpose: To evaluate the changes in the focal macular electroretinogram (FMERG) and foveal retinal thickness after vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema (DME).
Methods: FMERGs were elicited from 25 eyes of 21 patients (ages 29-75 years) who underwent vitrectomy for DME by a 15 degrees stimulus. A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was created during surgery in 19 eyes (group 1), and 4 eyes had a PVD before surgery (group 2).
