Inverted ILM flap, free ILM flap and conventional ILM peeling for large macular holes

Table 1 Change in BCVA through the study

Surgical technique	Baseline (logMAR)	1 month (logMAR)	3 months (logMAR)	Alpha (3 months)
Group A
(Conventional 360° ILM peeling)	0.925 ± 0.5	0.656 ± 0.06	0.707 ± 0.3	0.3
Group B
(Inverted-flap technique)	0.953 ± 0.2	0.794 ± 0.3	0.616 ± 0.2	0.007*
Group C
(Free-flap technique)	1.097 ± 0.4	0.951 ± 0.4	0.704 ± 0.3	0.06
Alpha among groups	0.6	0.6	0.1	0.06

All three groups displayed a trend toward visual improvement, but only patients in group B reached statistical significance at the 3 months of follow-up
BCVA best corrected visual acuity, ILM internal limiting membrane
