Face-Down Posture versus Non-Face-Down Posture following Large Idiopathic Macular Hole Surgery: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis

Evidence regarding the effect of a face-down posture (FDP) for large idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether a postoperative FDP is required for the treatment of large IMH. Eligible randomized controlled trials published...
