Surgical Repair of Iatrogenic Macular Hole Secondary to Vitrectomy for Long-standing Traumatic Retinal Detachment
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging, 09/30/09

Shukla D et al. – The hole was initially monitored for 2 months to allow for spontaneous closure; however, it enlarged from 440 to 710 µm. Best–corrected visual acuity was 20/400. Silicone–oil removal was performed along with dye–assisted internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade. Closure of the macular hole was observed 1 month after treatment. Visual acuity improved to 20/120 by the last follow–up examination 1 year after treatment.
