A prospective randomised study comparing the near visual acuity outcomes using Salzburg Reading Desk in pseudophakic patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole treated with pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling versus inverted flap technique. The aim of the study is confirm or disprove the hypothesis, that the near visual acuity results of pars plana vitrectomy with inverted flap technique for idiopathic macular hole are not inferior to pars plana vitrectomy with complete internal limiting membrane peeling technique. Patients will be followed for 6 months after the operation and near best corrected visual acuity testing on Salzburg reading desk, distance best corrected visual acuity on ETDRS tables and microperimetry will be performed and compared between both groups. Also the macular hole closure rate and complication rate will be compared between both groups.
