Introduction: IMH causes loss of central vision and it restricts the activities of a patient, therefore posing a threat to the patient’s quality of life. Modern developments in surgical interventions as well as the organization of medical care enhance the effectiveness of treatment while a detailed analysis of it is needed.
Objective: consequently, the purpose of this particular research is to examine organizational medical care among the specified population of patients with IMH, in regard to their quality of life and the efficacy of contemporary treatment regimens.
Method: to accomplish this, the current study applied narrative synthesis strategies and reviewed literature on IMH diagnosis, management for surgical solutions, and patient outcomes. This assessment encompassed previous and current therapy methods together with patient enlightenment and follow-up with impact on vision clarity and general quotient.
Results: from the current review, it was evident that surgeons are now using facilities such as small-gauge vitrectomy and pharmaceutical substances including ocriplasmin, which enhance macular hole closure rates and near visual acuity levels. Teaching has been done to patients/clients and organized follow-ups as part of the organizational care to improve quality of life as perceived by patients from follow-up questionnaires representing a significant improvement in visual function and activities.
Conclusion: this paper outlines that patients with IMH require a structured and coordinated, cross-professional approach to its management in conjunction with contemporary surgery revealing drastic enhancements to visual acuity levels and the overall wellbeing of a patient
