Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to assess the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to describe vitreomacular-interface and foveal structure in patient with idiopathic macular hole
Methods: All cases were subjected to complete history taking, thorough ophthalmic examination, and OCT scanning. Anti-inflammatory eye drops were used to treat eye inflammation. At follow up, all cases were evaluated by slit lamp examination, OCT scanning, fundus examination with slit lamp biomicroscopy with the+ 90D lens, as well as intraocular tension measurement by applanation tonometry.
Results: The mean age of the cases was 67.07 ± 5.58 years with range between 58 and 77 years. There were 12 males (40%) and 18 females (60%) among the included cases. The mean BCVA was 0.904 ± 0.169 with range between 0.6 and 1.176. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between macular hole index with BCVA, hole rim diameter, hole maximum diameter, hole minimum diameter, hole height, right arm length, left arm length, hole form factor, tractional hole index, diameter hole index and lateral fluid pocket.
Conclusion: The fact that OCT is a technically simple, quick, and noninvasive test further justifies its wider use beside its higher accuracy to facilitate getting an accurate diagnosis.
