Since Kelly and Wendel [Arch Ophthalmol 1991;109:654-659] first reported successfully treating macular holes (MHs) using pars plana vitrectomy in 1991, MH surgery has been constantly improved. For example, introducing the removal of the internal limiting membrane considerably increased the closure rate of MHs, and the advent of microincision vitrectomy surgery reduced surgical trauma and decreased patient discomfort after surgery. As modern MH surgery can achieve a higher anatomical success rate and alleviate patients' postoperative distress, postoperative visual outcomes have lately become the primary concern. Informing patients of the expected visual acuity and visual improvement before surgery is ideal, but predicting postoperative visual outcomes is difficult because a large number of factors are associated with them. In this paper, we review previous studies and provide accumulating evidence for the relationship between individual prognostic factors and visual outcomes after MH surgery.
