Abstract

|
|
Purpose: To compare the axial length between patients with macular hole and a control group.
Methods: The axial length was compared and analyzed for 100 eyes of 100 patients diagnosed with idiopathic full thickness macular hole, fellow eyes of patients, and 100 eyes of 100 age-matched control subjects who underwent cataract surgery.
Results: The average axial length was 22.71 ± 0.92 mm in eyes of patients with macular hole and was 22.81 ± 0.89 mm in fellow eyes of patients. There was no significant difference between axial length of eyes with macular hole and fellow eyes of patients (p = 0.477). The average axial length was 23.37 ± 0.68 mm in the control group. There were statistically significant differences between the axial length of eyes with macular hole and fellow eyes of patients compared to that in the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Patients with idiopathic macular hole showed significantly shorter axial length compared to the control group, and this might be considered a triggering factor of macular hole.
