MOLINA MARTIN, Julio César; RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Violeta y MENDOZA SANTIESTEBAN, Carlos E. Microperimetry MP1 for idiopathic macular hole. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2010, vol.23, suppl.1, pp. 545-553. ISSN 1561-3070.
OBJETIVE: To describe patterns of retinal sensitivity and fixation in eyes with idiopathic macular hole and in contralateral eyes at stage 0 determined by the optical coherence tomography in 35 patients suffering idiopathic macular hole, who had been diagnosed in the Retinal Service of "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology in 2006 and 2007. METHODS: Each patient underwent MP1 microperimetry and optical coherence tomography in his/her eyes, using Stratus 3000 at the time of diagnosis. RESULTS: The optic coherence tomography showed the stage 0 in the healthy contralateral eye of 7 patients, with a slight decrease of retinal sensitivity in the center of the fovea (mean= 12.5 db) according to the microperimetry. The occurrence of absolute scotomas within the 2 central degrees was observed from the stage II on, whereas the relative scotomas were identified from the stage 0. The stages 0, 1a and 1b had a predominantly central stable fixation with 5 % dispersion off the 2 central degrees. A direct statistically significant correlation was found between the reduced retinal sensitivity and the decreased foveal retinal thickness at the time of diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Microperimetry was an important tool to detect functional alterations at initial stages in contralateral eyes, thus allowing a comprehensive morphological and functional assessment of these patients by means of the optical coherence tomography.
