[Influence of Macular Hole Width on Visual Acuity, Endotamponade and Closure Rate].

Conclusion: Determining the width of a macular hole with SD-OCT is an important indicator for the necessary endotamponade. Using a lower gas concentration (15 %) for smaller holes (≤ 400 µm) to prevent postoperative IOP fluctuations does not negatively influence closure rates. PMID: 27984839 [PubMed - in process]
