Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Pilot randomised controlled trial of face-down positioning following macular hole surgery.
This was a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the effect of post-operative face-down positioning on the outcome of macular hole surgery and to inform the design of a larger definitive study. ⋯ Post-operative face-down positioning may improve the likelihood of macular hole closure, particularly for holes larger than 400 μm. These results support the case for a RCT.
