To establish whether the success rate of surgery for small idiopathic macular holes (diameter, ≤ 400 μm) is significantly reduced if facedown positioning is replaced by simply taking care to avoid the supine position. Randomized, controlled, parallel-assignment, open-label, interventional, multicenter
To study macular hole (MH) surgery in terms of baseline demographics, intraoperative complications, post-vitrectomy cataract, reoperation, and visual outcome. National Ophthalmology Database study.
