ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the disappearance of traumatic macular hole in three eyes of three patients.METHODS:
Clinical data of the patients were reviewed.RESULTS:
The three patients were relatively young, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years old. In one eye of each patient, a small traumatic macular hole was observed at the first visit. Visual acuities ranged from 20/100 to 20/40. The macular holes resolved spontaneously 3 to 4 months after the trauma, and final visual acuity improved to 20/20 in all patients.CONCLUSION:
Small traumatic macular holes in young patients can resolve spontaneously, and this can be associated with good visual recovery.
