Perfluoro-n-Octane–Assisted Single-Layered Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap Technique for Macular Hole Surgery

Vitrectomy became the standard treatment of macular hole after its introduction by Kelly and Wendel.1 Although progression of surgical techniques and diagnostic tools have improved the anatomical outcomes of macular hole surgery, postoperative visual recovery is usually limited.2–4 Furthermore, surg
