Macular Holes

Brief summary

Patients with macular hole \<400µm will be randomized for ILM flap Transposition and ILM Peeling for surgical repair of macular holes

Detailed description

Patients with macular hole with a diameter larger than 400µm have better sucess with ILM flap transposition, but there are no data published examining the outcome of macular hole with a diameter \<400µm. Therefore, patients with macular hole with a diameter \<400µm will be randomized for ILM flap transposition and ILM peeling for surgical repair of macular holes

Interventions

PROCEDUREILM flap transposition

during ILM flap Transposition, an ILM flap is placed on the macular hole

PROCEDUREILM peeling

during ILM Peeling the ILM is removed around the macular hole
