The evolution and visual prognosis of glial proliferation of different grades after macular hole surgery
This retrospective research study aimed to investigate the evolution of glial proliferation of varying grades after successful idiopathic macular hole repair and its effects on foveal microstructure and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Two-hundred and two eyes were enrolled in this...Strange Sequelae Succeeding ‘Surfer’s Eye’
