Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effect of preoperative Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) parameters on macular hole surgery (MHS) and their predictive value for postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 30 eyes of 30 patients with macular hole (MH). All patients underwent pars plana 23-gauge vitrectomy. A detailed macular analysis including MH minimum diameter (MD), base diameter (BD), opening diameter (OD), height, nasal arm (NA), temporal arm (TA), macular hole index (MHI), diameter hole index (DHI), tractional hole index (THI), hole form factor (HHF), macular hole area (MHA), and macular hole volume (MHV) were performed preoperatively. Presence of inner segment–outer segment (IS/OS) line, external limiting membrane (ELM), and cyst was noted postoperatively. Relationships between these parameters and postoperative BCVA were evaluated.
Results: The study group comprised 25 (83.3%) women. Mean pre and postoperative BCVA values were 0.924±0.320 and 0.487±0.287 logMAR, respectively. BCVA improved significantly after MHS (p

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe optical coherence tomography characteristics of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) in age-related macular degeneration patients. METHODS A multicenter, retrospective, observational case series of patients diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration and FTMHs seen between January 1, 2009, and January 3, 2020. Clinical charts and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images were reviewed. Optical coherence tomography findings included FTMH-inverted trapezoid or hourglass appearance, central macular thickness (CMT), complete retinal pigment epithelium and complete retinal outer retinal atrophy, and presence of pigment epithelium detachment and epiretinal membrane. The mean outcome was the morphologic and functional characterization of different subtypes of FTMHs. RESULTS A total of 86 eyes of 85 consecutive patients, with mean age of 80.31 ± 8.06 and mean best-corrected visual acuity of 1.17 ± 0.58 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution. Two different subtypes of FTMHs were identified: tractional and degenerative. Fifty (58%) degenerative FTMHs characterized with inverted trapezoid appearance and 36 (42%) tractional FTMHs characterized with hourglass appearance. Degenerative FTMHs presented with 66% of CMT < 240 µm, 14% of CMT > 320, and 70% of complete retinal outer retinal atrophy, in comparison with 41% of CMT < 240 µm, 42.9% of CMT > 320%, and 20% of complete retinal outer retinal atrophy in the tractional FTMH group (P = 0.002, 0.003, <0.001, respectively). The presence of epiretinal membrane and pigment epithelium detachment where significantly higher in tractional FTMHs (P = 0.02, 0.03, respectively). CONCLUSION Degenerative and tractional FTMHs may be two distinct clinical entities. Discerning degenerative from tractional FTMHs is possible by using optical coherence tomography features including shape of the FTMHs, CMT, internal-external ratio of FTMHs, and presence of complete retinal outer retinal atrophy, pigment epithelium detachment, and epiretinal membrane.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of blindness in developed countries, particularly in older adults. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injection is the current standard treatment for neovascular form of AMD. Studies reporting macular hole (MH) formation following anti-VEGF treatment are limited, and the exact pathogenesis is still under discussion. With the present study, we aim to analyse the clinical features of eyes developing MH after anti-VEGF therapy for neovascular AMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF agents for at least one year and stable for at least six months. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography findings were evaluated. RESULTS Nineteen eyes of 18 patients were included in this study. Patients had an average age of 77.7 years at first visit and eight were female. The average number of injections before the MH formation was four. MH developed after a mean follow-up of 5.1 months after the last injection. Sixteen eyes had (84.2%) had choroidal neovascular membrane without any abnormal vitreomacular traction. Eleven eyes (57.8%) had retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED), two (10.5%) had an epiretinal membrane (ERM), and one (5.2%) had retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear. The mean first and last BCVA was 1.07±0.48 LogMAR (0.3-1.8) and 1.16±0.38 logMAR (0.4-1.8), respectively. CONCLUSIONS A macular hole can be observed in AMD patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy. Increased fibrovascular scar tissue due to subretinal fluid resolution, neovascular membrane contraction, and the presence of PED, RPE tear, and ERM may contribute to MH formation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report a case of treatment of a full-thickness macular hole, which appeared after 10 months of anti-VEGF treatment in neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD). METHODS The patient was diagnosed as type 1 nAMD. The coexisting vitreomacular traction caused a full thickness macular hole after 10 months of treatment. PATIENTS A 68-year-old woman treated with anti VEGF. RESULTS Vitrectomy with the temporal inverted ILM flap technique succeeded in closing the hole. Further anti-VEGF treatment followed. CONCLUSION FTMH is a rare complication or coexistence in nAMD. Vitrectomy and continuous anti-VEGF treatment might result in satisfactory anatomical and functional results.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the etiology, clinical features, management options, and visual prognosis in various types of atypical macular holes (MHs). METHODS A review of the literature was performed, which focused on the etiopathogenesis of atypical or secondary MHs, their differentiating clinical features, management strategies, and varied clinical outcomes. Idiopathic or age-related, myopic, and traumatic MHs were excluded. RESULTS Atypical or secondary MHs arise out of concurrent ocular pathologies (dystrophy, degeneration, or infections) and laser/surgery. The contributing factors may be similar to those responsible for idiopathic or typical MHs, i.e., tangential or anteroposterior vitreofoveal traction or cystoid degeneration. The management is either observation or treatment of the underlying cause. The prognosis depends on the background pathology, duration of disease, and baseline visual acuity governed by the size of MH and morphologic health of underlying RPE and photoreceptors. The closer the morphology of atypical MH is to that of an idiopathic MH, the better the surgical outcome is. CONCLUSION With the advancements in retinal imaging, atypical MHs are now more frequently recognized. With increasing understanding of the underlying disease processes, and improvement in investigations and surgical treatment, management of atypical MHs may improve in the future.

Abstract
Purpose The formation of macular hole after receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is rare. We report a case of macular hole that occurred after intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF agent for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a patient, who underwent vitrectomy combined with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) removal. Observations A 64-year-old female with AMD affecting her right eye received an intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF agent. After treatment, we identified a full thickness macular hole (MH) that was associated with the rapid resolution of the macular edema and contraction of the CNV. After performing vitrectomy combined with CNV removal, the MH closed and her visual acuity improved. Examination of the removed CNV revealed a network of microvessels devoid of pericytes. Conclusions and importance The present findings suggest that rapid resolution of macular edema and contraction of the CNV and/or mild increase in the vitreous traction after anti-VEGF therapy could potentially cause MH. CNV removal via the MH may be an acceptable procedure, if the MH remains open, the CNV is of the classic type, and it spares a central portion of the fovea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of macular hole formation is widely accepted as a tractional force at the vitreo-retinal interface in fovea. We report a case of macular hole after intravitreous aflibercept injection for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) associated with contraction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) at the edge of a fibrovascular pigment epithelial detachment (PED). CASE PRESENTATION A 94-year old man with neovascular AMD affecting his left eye accompanied by a fibrovascular PED was examined for severe vision loss. Although RPE tear in his left eye was identified before the first aflibercept intravitreous injection performed in order to treat neovascular AMD, he received three aflibercept injections as induction treatment. After induction treatment, a full thickness macular hole was identified associated with the contracted rolled RPE edge beneath the retina. CONCLUSION Macular hole is commonly formed associated with tangential vitreous traction. Current report suggests that rapid contraction of the RPE underneath the retina can be one of the causes of a macular hole, and one of the side effects of anti-VEGF therapy for neovascular AMD.
