AB  - PURPOSE: We investigated factors affecting imaging of spectral-domain optical 
      coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in gas-filled eyes after macular-hole (MH) surgery. 
      METHODS: The study comprised 25 eyes in 23 patients, eight men and 15 women, with 
      a mean age of 66.9 (48-77) years, all of whom had undergone vitrectomy for MH. 
      Sulfur hexafluoride (SF(6)) gas was used as a tamponade, and the patients were 
      maintained in a prone position after surgery. The SD-OCT imaging was performed on 
      postoperative days 1 and 2. RESULTS: The success rate of imaging was 88.0% (22/25 
      eyes) on postoperative day 1 and 95.8% (23/24 eyes) on postoperative day 2. The 
      rate of MH closure in successful imaging cases was 81.8% (18 eyes) on 
      postoperative day 1 and 95.7% (22 eyes) on postoperative day 2. The imaging 
      accuracy in gas-filled eyes increased by setting the focus value of the OCT to a 
      myopic refractive shift. CONCLUSION: The imaging of many gas-filled eyes 
      following MH surgery is possible, even at the early postoperative stage, by 
      setting the focus value of the OCT to a myopic refractive shift.
