Fig. 1. Phases of the technique: vitreous cavity volume substitution with the perfluorocarbon liquid with subsequent aspiration of intraocular fluid from the hole area
Fig. 2. Phases of the technique: under exposure to negative pressure in the hole area, the aggregate foveal tissue of the macular hole fused walls is held in this position due to the perfluorocarbon liquid gravity
Fig. 3. Phases of the technique: application of the ACP prepared to the surface of the macular area of the retina with subsequent emergence of the hermetic plaque sealing the hole area (А) and filling the entire intrawound space (B)
