Abstract It has been reported that the retinal vessel and macular region of the retina are displaced after macular hole (MH) surgery. However, there is no detailed information for correlations between retinal and choroidal displacements. We obtained optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and en-face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images from 24 eyes to measure the retinal and choroidal vascular displacement before and after surgery. These images were merged into infrared images using blood vessel patterns. The same vascular bifurcation points were automatically selected for each follow-up image, and the displacements of the bifurcation points were analyzed as a vector unit for prespecified grid regions in a semi-automated fashion. The results showed displacements of the choroidal intermediate vessels and retinal vessels following MH surgery (p = 0.002, p
