Retinal magnification factor at the ora terminals: a structural study of human and animal eyes.

abstract：:The present study examined perceptual distortions of a vertical line before and after macular hole (MH) surgery in 25 eyes of 24 patients. Participants' perceptual reports of distortions were classified as solid, bent right/left, thinned at the center, or broken. The majority of patients (72%) reported symmetrical dis...
