Data on the outcome of surgery facilitate informed preoperative patient counselling. Most studies on the outcome of surgery for idiopathic full thickness macular hole surgery have concentrated on rates of anatomical closure. The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting visual success (better than 20/40; 6/12 Snellen) following macular hole surgery.
