Long-Term Observations of Thickness Changes of Each Retinal Layer following Macular Hole Surgery

Figure 1

Cross-sectional images obtained by SD-OCT showing how measurements of the retinal thickness of the inner (black arrow), middle (gray arrow), and outer retinal layers (white arrow) were made. (a) Retinal thickness map of the inner retinal layer. (b) Inner and middle circles of 1.5 and 4.5 mm diameters were placed on the center of the fovea. Averaged thicknesses for the temporal/superior (TS), temporal/inferior (TI), nasal/superior (NS), and nasal/inferior (NI) quadrants of the middle circle are presented in the thickness chart (encompassed by squares). SD-OCT, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
