Abstract
Objective
To observe the dynamic characteristics of visual acuity after vitrectomy in different sizes of idiopathic macular hole, and analyze the influencing factors.
Methods
A retrospective study. From August 2016 to June 2018, 302 patients (302 eyes) with monocular idiopathic macular hole who underwent 25G vitrectomy combined with the internal limiting membrane peeling in Tianjin Eye Hospital were included in the study. There were 130 males and 172 females, with the mean age of 63.36±6.91 years. There were 158 left eyes and 144 right eyes. The logMAR BCVA was 1.13±0.45. The minimum diameter (422.92±211.73 μm) and basal diameter (835.47±366.42 μm) of macular hole and choroid thickness under fovea (244.84±60.68 μm) were measured by OCT. According to the minimum diameter, the holes were divided into small hole group (≤ 250 μm), middle hole group (>250 μm and ≤400 μm) and large hole group (>400 μm). The logMAR BCVA at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery in 3 groups were observed. Two-factor repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the visual acuity of the 3 groups. The generalized estimation equation (GEE) was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative visual recovery.
Results
One month after surgery, all the holes were closed. One, 3 and 6 months after surgery, the logMAR BCVA were 0.33±0.25, 0.23±0.18, 0.16±0.17 in the small hole group; the logMAR BCVA were 0.46±0.25, 0.35±0.26, 0.27±0.28 in the middle hole group; the logMAR BCVA were 0.81±0.51, 0.61±0.48, 0.53±0.37 in the large hole group. Through repeated measurement variance analysis of two factors, it was found that there was an interaction between different groups and different time nodes (F=23.133, P 0.05). In the large hole group, among preoperative, 1 months after surgery, 3 months after surgery, the visual acuity difference was statistically significant (P 0.05). The results of GEE analysis showed that hole size (χ2=4.17, P=0.04), basal diameter (χ2=7.25, P=0.01), disease course (χ2=19.26, P=0.00), and choroid thickness (χ2=4.19, P=0.04) were the influencing factors of postoperative visual acuity.
Conclusions
After vitrectomy of macular holes of different sizes, the visual recovery trend is different. The visual recovery of small holes and middle holes is faster and basically restored at 1 month. The large holes requires a slow recovery process and stabilizes vision at 3 months. Hole size, basal diameter, course of disease and choroid thickness are the influencing factors of visual acuity recovery.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases is the only scientific journal in my country that focuses on reporting fundus diseases. Its purpose is to combine clinical and basic research, and to give equal importance to improvement and popularization. It comprehensively reflects the leading clinical and basic research results of fundus disease disciplines in my country; cultivates professional talents in fundus disease, promotes the development of fundus disease disciplines in my country; and promotes academic exchanges on fundus disease at home and abroad. The coverage includes clinical and basic research results of posterior segment diseases such as retina, uveal tract, vitreous body, visual pathway, and internal eye diseases related to systemic diseases. The readers are medical workers and researchers related to clinical and basic research of fundus diseases. According to the journal retrieval report of the Chinese Institute of Scientific and Technological Information, the comprehensive ranking impact factor and total citation frequency of the Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases have been among the best in the disciplines of ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology in my country for many years. The papers published have been included in many important databases at home and abroad, such as Scopus, Peking University Core, and China Science Citation Database (CSCD).
