TI  - Prevalence and Progression of Stage 0 Macular Hole in Fellow Eyes of Patients 
      with Idiopathic Full-thickness Macular Hole.

AB  - PURPOSE: To assess the prevalence and progression of a stage 0 macular hole in 
      the fellow eye of patients with an idiopathic full-thickness macular hole. 
      METHODS: The fellow eyes of 189 patients who underwent idiopathic full-thickness 
      macular hole surgery were examined by biomicroscopy and spectral domain-optical 
      coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A subset of 21 fellow eyes with a stage 0 macular 
      hole was observed. Changes in the macular hole were evaluated by biomicroscopy 
      and SD-OCT for an average of 29 months. RESULTS: Among the 21 eyes, 15 showed no 
      change in perifoveal vitreous detachment (71.4%). Two eyes (9.5%) developed 
      complete vitreofoveal separation, and one of the two developed a separation after 
      progression to stage 1A. Among 21 eyes, 5 (23.8%) developed above stage 1A, and 
      one of the five progressed to stage 1B after five years, which was successfully 
      treated with vitrectomy and gas tamponade. CONCLUSIONS: Perifoveal vitreous 
      detachment in the fellow eye on SD-OCT, defined as a stage 0 macular hole, 
      occurred at an earlier phase than stage 1A macular holes and may progress to an 
      advanced stage. Therefore, patients who undergo macular hole surgery and have a 
      stage 0 macular hole or perifoveal vitreous detachment in the fellow eye should 
      be followed closely.
