Duration of Face Down Positioning for Full-Thickness Macular Hole Repair

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A full-thickness macular hole is when there is a small gap that opens in the center part of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). Following surgical repair of these holes, patients have to lie face down for a number of days and nights. The exact amount of time necessary to position is however unknown. The goal of this randomized feasibility clinical trial is to compare 3 days and nights of face-down positioning to 7 days and nights of face-down positioning following pars plana vitrectomy surgery for full-thickness macular holes on key patient outcomes. This study will be a feasibility study to better inform a future larger clinical trial. Additionally, this investigation will be examining the rates of macular hole closure, patient visual acuity following surgery, patient quality of life, patient compliance, and complication rates.
