Objectives: To investigate the association between iOCT feature inmacular hole surgery and the restoration of the retina microstructure and visualoutcomes. M ethods: Fifty-three eyes of 53 patients with macular hole were recruited in this retrospective study. All eyes were assessed with intraoperative OCT after internal limiting membrane peeling. We divided the patients in to three groups:fovel flap group, hole-door group, and negative group,according to morphological changes on the edge of hole using iOCT after ILM peeling. We compared the anatomical and functional surgical outcomes between these groups. ResultsThe negative group had significantly poorer BCVA and restoration of the ELM than other two groups(P=0.002,0.012) at 6 months postoperatively. In the hole size ≤400um group,There were no statistical difference of ELM restoration and BCVA postoperatively between the groups. While in hole size > 400um group, The hole-door group and fovea flap group had significantly better final visual acuity and restoration of ELM than the negative group(P=0.013,P=0.005) Conclusion: This study describes a novel intraoperative sign using iOCT. This sign is a useful predictor of postoperative in restoration of the retina microstructure and visual outcomes of the macular hole,especially in large macular hole.
