Purpose To evaluate the surgical effect of idiopathic macular hole (IMH),with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods To measure the diameter of holes and hole halos,the thickness of hole in edge,the changes of hole pattern in 19 cases (19 eyes) with IMH using OCT. Results By quantitatively measuring,OCT showed that after surgery the mean hole diameter lessened from (570.95 plusmn;264.59 ) mu;m to (337.05 plusmn;335.95) mu;m.The mean diameter of hole halo lessened from (1043.53 plusmn;278.80) mu;m to (695.00 plusmn;483.00) mu;m and the mean thickness of the hole edge thinned from (389.78 plusmn;60.58) mu;m to (298.78 plusmn;109.80) mu;m.In 17 eyes the holes become closed or reduced in size or the hole halo,and thinned in hole edge.The anatomic successful rate of the surgery is 89%. Conclusion OCT can objectively,accurately and effectively judge the anatomic effect of IMH surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2000,16:71-138)
