Surgical management of Lamellar macular holes: an up-to-date review

Le résumé fourni par la source

Introduction Lamellar macular holes (LMHs) are a vitreoretinal disorder characterized by an absence of inner retinal layers at the foveal level and preservation of the photoreceptor layer.Areas covered Several authors have pointed out the stability of visual acuity over time in most cases of LMH, which makes surgery unnecessary. In contrast, numerous publications have shown that surgical treatment could be a valid therapeutic option in cases of lesions that progress over time, which is not so rare. The surgical techniques are not standardized yet, and although surgery is generally indicated following a reduction in visual acuity, metamorphopsia, or a progression of the retinal damage, the topic remains controversial. The purpose of this paper is to review and update current information about the surgical management of LMHs.Expert opinion Surgical techniques continue to improve in order to fulfil the quest for the best management of lamellar macular holes.
