Abstract

Purpose: : To evaluate the optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of closed macular holes (MH) after cataract surgery and their correlation with visual acuity (VA).

Methods: : OCT was used to analyze the morphology of the macula in 31 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification after successful MH surgery. These results were compared with VA.

Results: : A break in the inner segment /outer segment photoreceptor (IS/OS PR) junction line was present in 42 %, and an abnormal OCT profile was found in 26 % of eyes. No correlation was found between final VA and OCT abnormalities.

Conclusions: : OCT abnormalities of the macula after successful closure of macular hole were very common. Here, neither macular morphology nor IS/OS PR junction line integrity on OCT correlated with final visual acuity, even after cataract surgery, which ruled out the possibility of visual acuity degradation due to post–vitrectomy cataract.
