Fundus-controlled microperimetry and multifocal electroretinography for idiopathic full-thickness macular holes

Background. Nowadays we have limited information about the relationship of structural and functional changes in retina around idiopathic full-tickness macular hole (FTMH) and about its possible impact on the results of surgical treatment. Aim. To study the relationship between the parameters of microperimetry (MP) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in various areas of the macular areas in FTMH. Materials and methods. The study included 24 patients (19 women and 5 men, age 63.5±5.43 years) with FTMH in one eye. In all cases, optical coherence tomography (OCT), MP and mfERG were performed with the analysis of parameters (retinal sensitivity), N1 and P1 implicit time, P1 amplitude) and the relationships at different points and areas of the retina. The control consisted of 10 eyes with an intact retina. Results. In FTMH eyes the fixation point was shifted in 10 out of 24 cases, in comparison with the control, the retinal sensitivity (15.96±11.3 dB, p
