Popis: We have previously shown that the thickness of the parafoveal retina was asymmetrical in spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) images after idiopathic macular hole (MH) closure by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. The aim of this study was to determine whether the foveal slopes around the closed MH were also asymmetrical. Forty-three eyes with an MH treated with PPV with ILM peeling at Matsumoto Dental University Hospital were studied. The foveal slope was determined with ImageJ software in both the horizontal and vertical images obtained by SD-OCT at 6 months after the surgery. The possible related factors were also compared. The mean angles of the foveal slopes of the nasal, superior, inferior, and temporal sectors were 31.4° ± 6.2°, 31.2° ± 5.4°, 31.6° ± 7.4°, and 29.9° ± 6.6°, respectively, in the fellow eyes. The corresponding values in the operated eyes were significantly steeper at 50.4° ± 9.1°, 46.9° ± 11.3°, 48.6° ± 11.3°, and 41.3° ± 11.2°, respectively (P
