Diagnosis and management of macular holes.

Abstract

A macular hole is an important clinical entity which the practicing optometrist may encounter during the course of examination. The vast majority of macular holes are idiopathic, however, there is a wide array of macular disorders which may stimulate a true macular hole. A case report of bilateral idiopathic macular holes is presented with a discussion and differential diagnosis to assist clinicians in effectively managing this anomaly.
