Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The presence or absence of macular hole closure, as evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT), during a postoperative period (e.g., at the time of intraocular gas absorption, 1 month postoperatively, 3 months postoperatively, or 6 months postoperatively). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| During the postoperative period (e.g., at the time of intraocular gas absorption, 1 month postoperatively, 3 months postoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, etc.), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA; measured using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart and converted to logMAR), macular sensitivity (evaluated based on thresholds measured using static perimetry and Micro Perimeter 3), changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), and macular structure analyzed using optical coherence tomography (OCT), among others. | — |
