Quantitative Analysis of Macular Holes with Scanning Laser Tomography

Conclusions: Scanning laser tomography is a reproducible three-dimensional imaging technique providing objective and quantitative clinical information in assessing, grouping, and managing macular holes. By setting the OSD to rim height, additional information of rim height and hole volume was provided and correlated with visual acuity. In addition, more reliable differences among macular hole groups were found. Axial measurements such as macular hole depth, volume, and rim height may be more important for visual acuity than hole area indicating their possible predictive value for outcome measures.
