Surgical outcome data facilitate informed pre operative patient counseling. Most studies to date on the outcome of surgery for idiopathic full thickness macular hole (IFTMH) surgery have tended to concentrate on rates of anatomical closure. The aim of this study was to investigate for factors predicting visual success (better than 20/40; 6/12 Snellen) following macular hole surgery.
