Abstract EN
Background.
This study aims to compare the outcome of macular hole (MH) surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling facilitated by two different vital dyes.
Methods.
This was a retrospective chart review.
The group designated “group-MB” underwent pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling facilitated by Membrane-Blue (MB), whereas in “group-MBD,” the vital dye used was Membrane-Blue-Dual (MBD).
Results.
Seventy-four eyes comprised the study population: 53 in group-MB and 21 in group-MBD.
There was no difference in the rate of macular hole closure in group-MB or group-MBD: 71.2% closed MHs compared to 66.7%, respectively (p=0.7).
Postoperative visual improvement was of a higher magnitude in the MBD group compared to the MB group: −0.34±0.81 logMAR versus 0.01±0.06 logMAR, respectively (p=0.003).
Conclusions.
In this study, MBD led to better visual results that may be related to better staining characteristics or lesser toxicity compared to MB.
