ABSTRACT
In this report, two rare cases of large atrophic peripheral retinal holes are described. Both patients presented during a routine visit without reporting any ocular symptoms. The holes did not exhibit significant risk factors for progression to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment No signs of posterior vitreous detachment, vitreoretinal tractions, or retinal degeneration were visible. For such asymptomatic cases, international guidelines recommend a strict follow-up schedule; however, the unusual size of the holes raised significant concerns about the management of these retinal breaks. The advantages and disadvantages of laser photo-coagulation treatment were discussed, ultimately favoring a watch-and-wait strategy. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2024;55176-178.].
