Abstract
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina | Although previously reported with primary macular holes, spontaneous closure of a recurrent macular hole after previous vitrectomy has not been described. In a 71-year-old man, a recurrent macular hole diagnosed by clinical examination and optical coherence tomography was associated with cystoid macular edema on fluorescein angiography and decreased vision 9 months after macular holeKeywords
