Cover Story: In ophthalmology, there is a clinical condition called macular hole, and its origin is diverse (myopic, idiopathic, traumatic, among others); the only treatment available today is surgery. The goal is to achieve closure of the macular hole and recover visual function as much as possible; however, success is not achieved in some cases with the standard surgical technique. Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF-Endoret®) of autologous origin has demonstrated its role in corneal regeneration in clinical and basic research. The use of the membrane formulation of PRGF (mPRGF) in this clinical research article, used as an adjuvant therapy to the standard surgical technique, has demonstrated its efficacy in closing the macular hole and at the same time restoring the retinal layers.
