MH with a minimum diameter between edges of 888 mum in her left eye. Macular schisis changes, as well as the presence of an epiretinal membrane, were observed, as shown in Figure 1.
a One-week postoperative clinical picture of the MH. b OCT image shows the donor graft in place with complete closure of the MH and increased reflectivity of the donor's internal retinal layers. MH, macular hole.

One week after surgery, OCT examinations indicated complete closure of the MH and increased reflectivity of the transplanted tissue internal layers, as shown in Figure 2.
a Twelve-month clinical image of the ART. b OCT image shows that EZ continuity is preserved, and no boundaries are discernible between the ART and receptor macular tissue. ART, autologous retinal transplantation; EZ, ellipsoid zone.
