AB  - BACKGROUND: To evaluate the ability of spectral-domain optical coherence 
      tomography (SD-OCT) images of the inner/outer segment (IS/OS) junction to predict 
      macular hole surgery outcomes. METHODS: Fifty-four eyes in 53 patients with 
      idiopathic macular holes were studied. Postoperative visual acuity and SD-OCT 
      images of the fovea were examined before and 12 months after surgery. The total 
      area and the maximum length of the IS/OS junction defect were measured. RESULTS: 
      The macular holes were successfully closed in all the eyes included in this 
      series. The mean log MAR visual acuity improved significantly from 0.67 +/- 0.25 
      preoperatively to 0.16 +/- 0.22 postoperatively (p < 0.001). The mean total area 
      and maximum length of the IS/OS junction defect at 12 months after surgery were 
      10,185 +/- 1,537 microm(2) and 100.5 +/- 10.4 microm respectively; these values 
      were significantly negatively correlated with the postoperative visual acuity. 
      CONCLUSION: SD-OCT is useful for quantitatively measuring IS/OS junction defects. 
      The postoperative IS/OS junction may play an important role in visual recovery 
      after macular hole surgery.
