Summary

This study is testing ten different surgical methods to repair full-thickness macular holes, a condition that blurs central vision. 120 adults will be randomly assigned to one technique during vitrectomy surgery. The main goal is to see which method closes the hole most often and gives the best eyesight, measured at one week, one month, and one year after surgery.
