AbstractIt has been reported that the macular region of the retina is displaced after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in eyes with macular hole (MH), but the displacements of the deeper layers of the eye, e.g. RPE and choroid are unclear following the surgery. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) to obtain 3 mm × 3 mm en face images before, and 2, 4, and 8 weeks following the vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling from 22 eyes of 22 patients with a MH. The OCT and OCTA images showed displacements of the fovea and choroidal intermediate vessels postoperatively. The degree of displacement of the choroid was significantly less than that of the retina (P < 0.001). The displacements of the choroidal bifurcations were significantly correlated to their preoperative distance from the optic disc (r = −0.467, P < 0.001) and they were significantly correlated with the retinal displacements (r = 0.535, P < 0.001). The retina was displaced inferiorly and centripetally, but these localized displacements were not observed in the choroid. In conclusion, clinicians need to be aware of these displacements when evaluating the subfoveal choroid following the surgery because the displacement is different between the retina and the choroid.
