Purpose: To evaluate the elongation profile of foveal tissue after macular hole (MH) surgery and to investigate its impact on visual function.Design: Prospective, interventional case series.Participants: Thirty-one eyes from 31 patients who underwent surgery for an MH less than 400 mu m in diameter.Methods: The distance between the parafoveal edge of the outer plexiform layer (OPL) was defined as the inter-OPL distance and measured on the basis of optical coherence tomography images at the first postoperative visit and the 2- and 6-month postoperative visits. Further elongation of the foveal tissue in certain directions was defined as asymmetric elongation. The association of the mean degree of asymmetric elongation with visual acuity and metamorphopsia score (M-score) outcome was evaluated.Main Outcome Measures: Inter-OPL distance and M-score.Results: Macular hole sealing was noted in all eyes after surgery. The horizontal inter-OPL distances measured at the defined time points were 361.6 +/- 99.6 mu m, 558.8 +/- 93.3 mu m, and 575.4 +/- 94.8 mu m, respectively. The vertical inter-OPL distances were 324.2 +/- 93.8 mu m, 481.2 +/- 104.6 mu m, and 494.6 +/- 85.0 mu m, respectively. Both the horizontal and vertical inter-OPL distances were increased during the follow-up period (P
