Key Points

To evaluate the etiology-based management of pediatric macular holes and the resulting visual outcomes.
Analyzed data from 88 eyes with pediatric macular holes
Implemented a size/edge/traction-guided surgical approach
Evaluated closure rates and visual improvements over time
Achieved high closure rates in treated pediatric macular holes
Demonstrated meaningful though limited visual improvement
Supported early recognition and proactive complication management

Implication

Prospective studies demonstrate macular hole management aids visual outcomes in children, suggesting tailored surgery may improve success rates.

Abstract

An etiology-informed, size/edge/traction-guided approach was associated with meaningful-though limited-visual improvement and high closure. These practice-informing data support early recognition, tailored surgery, and proactive complication management; a decision aid is provided. Prospective studies are needed to standardize thresholds and validate outcomes.
