Meanings of idiopathic macular in English

Sequential examination of these patients demonstrated delayed formation of idiopathic macular hole.

Background: There has been wide variation in estimates of the incidence of bilateral idiopathic macular holes in the literature.

In contrast, idiopathic macular holes generally produce a pincushion pattern on Amsler grid testing and have no tissue loss.

Objective: To report on anatomical and visual outcomes after vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular hole repair.

Purpose: To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in eyes with idiopathic macular holes and age-matched normal controls using scanning laser polarimeter.

Methods: The records of 1627 patients operated on for idiopathic macular hole were collected retrospectively from 28 surgeons.

Purpose: Determining which factors influence idiopathic macular hole (MH) size is important because it is a major prognostic indicator of treatment success.

Conclusions: The retinal nerve fiber layer thickness of the papillomacular area is thinner in eyes with idiopathic macular hole than that in normal eyes.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was done of 550 patients with idiopathic macular holes examined at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 1968 and 1994.
