IMH mainly occurs in individuals aged 60–70 years, with ~66.7% of those affected being female (3–6). A significant correlation was identified between the MH index and the post‑operative LogMAR BCVA (r=0.869 P Introduction Idiopathic macular holes (IMH) are a major vitreoretinal pathology that may cause metamorphopsia and poor central vision (1,2). ![]() The LogMAR BCVA value at 1 month after surgery and the final follow‑up visit was significantly lower than the baseline value (P=0.0036 and P=0.0015, respectively). ![]() Anatomic closure of the MH was achieved in 19 eyes (90.4%) with a single surgery. The pre‑operative MH diameter, MH index and best‑corrected visual acuity (BCVA), as well as events of post‑operative MH closure and complications were recorded and analyzed. All patients were treated by 23‑gauge microincision vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling, gas tamponade and combined phacoemulsification. ![]() A total of 21 consecutive patients (21 eyes) with coexisting IMH and age‑associated cataract were enrolled in the study. Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the curative effect of combined phacoemulsification, 23‑gauge pars plana vitrectomy with Brilliant blue G‑assisted limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade in patients with coexisting idiopathic macular hole (IMH) and age‑associated cataract.
