Apparent disappearance of a macular hole associated with development of an epiretinal membrane

Am J Ophthalmol. 1986 Aug 15;102(2):172-5. doi: 10.1016/0002-9394(86)90139-x.

Abstract

A macular hole in a 78-year-old man participating in a long-term follow-up study changed its biomicroscopic appearance dramatically as a result of changes in an epiretinal membrane. The macular hole became invisible and visual acuity improved from 20/70-2 to 20/30-2+2.
