Ellipsoid Zone and External Limiting Membrane-Related Parameters on Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography and Their Relationships With Visual Prognosis After Successful Macular Hole Surgery

Purpose: To compare structural diameters of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM) bands on spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images between vision-improved (group A) and vision-unimproved (group B) patients, and investigate the connection between these para...

At the 6-month follow-up, the diameter of EZ disruption in group A was significantly smaller than in group B, and the relative reflectivity of ELM/EZ was significantly higher than group B. At 6-months, BCVA was statistically significantly correlated with baseline BCVA, basal diameter (BD), macular hole index (MHI), and diameter of ELM/EZ disruption.
