Characteristics of fixation patterns and their relationship with visual function of patients with idiopathic macular holes after vitrectomy

Abstract To analyze the relationships between the fixation location and the visual function of idiopathic macular hole (IMH) patients with macular integrity assessment (MAIA) examination preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. This was a retrospective case analysis. Forty-three eyes of 43 patie...

This was a retrospective case analysis. Forty-three eyes of 43 patients diagnosed with IMH were included in this study. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessments, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and MAIA examinations were performed before surgery and 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. The relationships between MAIA parameters and visual acuity were assessed by correlation analysis. Grouping by fixation location with the foveola (2°) as the centre, the locations could be divided into five groups, including foveolar, temporal, nasal, inferior and superior fixation. The mean macular sensitivity (MMS) of the macular area was correlated with the BCVA in the IMH patients before and 3 months after surgery (before surgery P = 0.00, after surgery P = 0.00). The MMS could be used as a good indicator for evaluating visual function in IMH patients. There was a significant difference in fixation location before and after the operation (P = 0.01). The preoperative fixation location of IMH patients was mainly in the superior area, while postoperatively moved to the foveola and nasal areas. Paying attention to the changes of fixation locations in IMH patients may provide new clues for further improving postoperative visual function.Yuyan LiuYing WangYi DongDongqing LiangShiyong XieBo XiaoYanhua ChuQuanhong HanNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021)
