Baseline OCT Biomarkers and Early Outcomes After Idiopathic Full-Thickness Macular Hole Surgery: Associations with Primary Failure and Visual Acuity After Successful Closure

Background/Objectives: Baseline visual acuity (VA) and minimum linear diameter (MLD) are well-established predictors after surgery for idiopathic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH). It is less clear whether other optical coherence tomography (OCT) features provide additional information. We examined the associations of selected baseline OCT biomarkers with primary anatomical failure and with early postoperative VA after successful closure.
