Comparative study between the conventional surgery versus a new surgical technique for treatment of macular holes

Phase 1/2
Completed
Conditions
Patients with large macular holes more than 600 microns
Registration Number
CTRI/2017/05/008663
Lead Sponsor
Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences
Brief Summary

Large macular holes usually have an increased risk of failure. Flat open macular holes  are associated with limited visual acuity. This study compares conventional macular hole surgery with inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap technique in patients with large macular holes. Study design will be a prospective comparative study. Patients with macular holes larger than 600 microns will be included . In group 1  15 eyes will undergo  standard 3 port pars plana vitrectomy with air and in group 2 15 eyes will undergo inverted ILM flap  technique. Primary outcome measures are best corrected visual acuity and post operative macular hole closure , Investigations will de bone pre operatively and on follow up at 1 week, 1 month,3 months.
