Purpose: To investigate the reconstructive changes in foveal microstructures postoperatively and analyze the visual predictors in eyes with surgically closed traumatic macular holes (TMHs). Methods: Seventy-one eyes with TMHs that underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, and gas tamponade were reviewed. Clinical data, best-corrected visual acuity, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images were recorded. The length of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) defect and the integrity of postoperative external limiting membrane (ELM) were measured. Preoperative and 1-month postoperative features were analyzed, respectively, as potential predictors of visual acuity at 6 months postoperatively. Results: The primary hole closure rate was 90.14% (64/71). In 43 cases of initially closed TMHs with SD-OCT scans preoperatively and at 1 and 6 months postoperatively, the number of eyes with intact ELM increased from 18 (41.86%) at 1 month to 26 (60.47%) at 6 months (p = 0.08), while the number of eyes with a restored EZ band remained the same in 2 eyes (4.65%). The mean length of the EZ defect progressively decreased postoperatively (p < 0.001). Poorer preoperative visual acuity (p = 0.002), lower mean macular hole (MH) height (p = 0.012), and greater preoperative mean length of EZ defect (p < 0.001) were associated with worse visual acuity 6 months postoperatively, but only the preoperative length of the EZ defect was proved to be a predictor, with the cutoff value of 1,800 mu m provided by the receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve. Worse visual acuity and greater mean length of the EZ defect at 1 month were also associated with worse final visual acuity. Conclusions: The mean length of the EZ defect both preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively were predictors of visual outcomes at 6 months postoperatively.
