Background: Microperimetric biofeedback training improved visual acuity and fixation stability in patients who previously underwent macular surgery. We aimed to compare the functional results of biofeedback training with the standard of care in patients who underwent successful inverted Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM)-flap technique for high myopic macular holes (hMMH). Methods: This was a retrospective, comparative, cohort study. Patients with hMMH after surgical hole closure underwent microperimetric biofeedback using structured light stimulus plus acoustic tone (n = 12; Biofeedback) or standard of care with scheduled visits (n = 11; Control). Best-corrected visual acuity, retinal sensitivity at central 12° (RS) and 4° (CRS) with a mean deviation at central 12° (MD), and fixation stability as bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA 68%, 95%, and 99%) were assessed at baseline and month 1, 3, 6, and 12. The Mann–Whitney test was used to test the difference between the groups. Results: Baseline functional parameters were not significantly different among the groups. BCVA significantly improved in each group (Biofeedback, p = 0.002; Control, p ≤ 0.02) at all follow-up visits. CRS significantly improved at 6 (p = 0.03) and 12 (p = 0.01) months in the Biofeedback group and at month 12 (p = 0.01) in the Control group. RS (p = 0.001) and MD (p = 0.005) improved at the last follow-up only in the trained group. After training, BCEA 68% and 95% significantly improved (6 and 12 months, p < 0.05). The Biofeedback group had better results in RS (p ≤ 0.02), CRS (p ≤ 0.02), and BCEA 68%, 95%, and 99% (p ≤ 0.01) compared to the Control at all follow-ups. BCVA and MD were better in the Biofeedback group at month 3 (p = 0.01), and month 3 (p = 0.01) and 12 (p = 0.003), respectively. Conclusions: Microperimetric biofeedback can increase retinal sensitivity and stabilize fixation better than the standard care over months after a successful inverted ILM-flap for hMMH.
