PURPOSE: To study the outcomes of redo macular hole surgery using light silicone oil tamponade. METHODS: In this study, medical charts of consecutive patients who underwent redo pars plana vitrectomy, extended dye-assisted internal limiting membrane peel, and light silicone oil tamponade for failed previous macular hole surgery (from January 2010 to June 2014) were retrospectively reviewed. Best spectacle corrected visual acuity and anatomical closure rates were regarded as outcome measures. Anatomical success was achieved in 11 (84.6%) patients: nine (69.2%) macular holes were closed and two (15.4%) were flat-open. CONCLUSIONS: Redo pars plana vitrectomy with light silicone oil tamponade is an effective method for restoration of macular anatomy and function in patients with persistent macular holes.
