Abstract
To investigate the characteristics of postoperative central visual field defect (cVFD) in patients with macular hole (MH). Eighteen eyes from 18 MH patients were involved in this retrospective study which reviewed square root of loss variance (sLV) and mean defect (MD) of the visual field test in all subjects. The relationship between cVFD and MH stage, as well as the postoperative ellipsoid zone disruption were evaluated using Spearman's correlation test. Our analysis determined Spearman coefficient is 0.705 for the correlation between sLV and MH stage (P<0.01), 0.877 for the correlation between sLV and postoperative ellipsoid zone disruption (P<0.01) and 0.721 for the correlation between MD and postoperative ellipsoid zone disruption (P<0.01). A significant relationship was also detected between postoperative ellipsoid zone disruption and MH stage (r=0.470, P<0.05). Univariate regression analysis indicated that sLV and MD were associated with postoperative ellipsoid zone disruption (P<0.01, P<0.01, respectively). Postoperative cVFD is highly correlated with MH stage and postoperative ellipsoid zone disruption in patients with MH.
