Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
CONT

Myopic macular holes are classically associated with high or progressive myopia.

CONT

Inverted ILM [internal limiting membrane] flap : In this method, the ILM is peeled circumferentially but left attached to the hole's borders. The central remnants are manipulated to cover the hole, adopting an "inverted" configuration where the vitreous side of the ILM faces the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE). This approach proves particularly effective for large and myopic macular holes...
