| Abstract Nr. | 133 |
| But | To evaluate the closure rate of macular hole day one with silicone oil tamponade. |
| Méthodes | From March 2007 until July 2007 idiopathic macular holes (n=18) were included in this study. Preoperative and day 1 postoperative SOCT Copernicus (Optopol Technology) was performed. |
| Résultats | The average width of the macular hole was 1257 microns (range 754-2143; SD 405). The functional closure rate at day 1 was 83.3% (U-type configuration). The average width of the anatomic closure of the hole was 287 microns (SD 66). None of the patients had a remnant of subretinal fluid. During the median follow up period of 3,5 months all macular holes were functionally closed (U-type configuration). |
| Conclusion | Silicone oil tamponade with endodrainage of the macular hole has a successful functional closure rate within 24 hours. |
