Popis: Purpose We have shown distinct morphological changes of the foveal retina such as horizontally asymmetrical retinal thicknesses and displacements of the fovea toward the optic disc after successful idiopathic macular hole (MH) closure by MH surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these morphological changes will alter the stereoacuity. Setting This was a non-randomized, retrospective study conducted on patients who underwent MH surgery at the Matsumoto Dental University Hospital, Nagano, Japan. Methods Forty patients (22 women, 18 men) who underwent MH surgery with ILM peeling for a unilateral MH were studied. At >6 months after the PPV, the stereoacuity was measured with the Titmus stereotest (TST) and the TNO stereotest (TNO). The relationship between the stereoacuity and the age, MH size, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), foveal retinal thickness, and amount of nasal shift of the retina was determined. Results The mean postoperative BCVA was -0.05 ± 0.11 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) units. The percentage of cases with good stereoacuity of ≤100 sec of arc was 87.5% with the TST and ≤240" was 90% with the TNO test. A better stereoacuity was significantly correlated with a younger age (r = 0.36, P
