Abstract

In this review, we will focus on different non-invasive retinal imaging techniques that can be used to evaluate morphological and functional features in full-thickness macular holes with a prognostic purpose. Technological innovations and developments in recent years have increased the knowledge of vitreoretinal interface pathologies by identifying potential biomarkers useful for surgical outcomes prediction. Despite a successful surgery of full-thickness macular holes, the visual outcomes are often puzzling, so the study and the identification of prognostic factors is a current topic of interest. Our review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on prognostic biomarkers identified in full-thickness macular holes by means of different retinal imaging tools, such as optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, microperimetry, fundus autofluorescence, and adaptive optics.
