AB  - PURPOSE: To determine the long-term surgical findings and outcomes after 
      vitrectomy for symptomatic lamellar macular holes. METHODS: We studied 28 
      patients with lamellar macular holes and central visual loss or distortion. All 
      interventions were standard 25 G vitrectomy with membranectomy of the internal 
      limiting membrane (ILM), peeling and gas tamponade with SF6 20 %. Operations were 
      performed by a single experienced surgeon within the last 3 years. Best corrected 
      visual acuity and optical coherence tomography appearance were determined 
      preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS: Following the surgical procedure, 
      all macular holes were closed; however, in 3 eyes, significant foveal thinning 
      was associated with changes in the retinal pigment epithelium changes. The mean 
      best-corrected visual acuity improved postoperatively in the majority of the 
      patients (n: 21, mean 0.3 logMAR), stabilised in 4 patients and decreased in 3 
      patients (mean 0.4 logMAR). Spectral Domain-Optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      showed resolution of the lamellar lesion and improved macular contour in all 
      cases. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated improvement in postoperative vision and the 
      anatomical reconstruction of the anatomical contour of the fovea in most eyes 
      with symptomatic lamellar holes. These findings indicate that vitrectomy, 
      membranectomy and ILM peeling with gas tamponade is a beneficial treatment of 
      symptomatic lamellar macular holes.
