Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with an internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and gas tamponade is widely accepted as the gold standard for the primary repair of full‐thickness macular holes (MH) resulting in the overall MH closure in 80 to 100% of cases.[1] However, predicting postoperative visual outcomes in MH can be difficult. Eyes with a shorter duration of symptoms and better preoperative visual acuity have been recognized to have better visual outcomes after MH surgery.[1]
