Changes InMPOD After Full-thickness Macular Hole Closure

Full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) is a debilitating retinal disorder, particularly in its advanced forms, necessitating surgical intervention for vision restoration. This study showes the successful closure of a large FTMH using the inverted flap technique, highlighting the essential role of multimodal imaging, and particularly of macular pigment optical density (MPOD) assessment, in preoperative and postoperative evaluation.

Surgery was performed by an expert vitreoretinal surgeon, resulting in significant postoperative improvements in visual acuity and retinal architecture. Multimodal imaging, including MPOD assessment, played a pivotal role in preoperative evaluation and postoperative monitoring.
