Brief summary
In this study, the investigators will make the only upper flap either from the internal limiting membrane or from the epiretinal membrane to cover the full thickness macular hole.
Detailed description
After the investigators completed the clinical trial NCT05269563, which was a double flap technique; that consists of two flaps from the internal limiting membrane and the epiretinal membrane. The inferior flap was implanted inside the hole, but the upper flap was utilized to cover the hole. The results were encouraging. Therefore, in this study, the investigators will make the only upper flap to cover the full thickness macular hole, to compare both visual and anatomical outcomes with the double flapped technique (NCT05269563) results. Therefore the double flap will be our control.
