Abstract
The only effective treatment for macular holes (MH) is surgery. Published data demonstrate that surgery (vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane/ILM peeling, and vitreous tamponade) of small and medium MHs is usually highly effective. Meanwhile, good outcomes and a high recurrence rate of large MHs postoperatively remain challenges. The authors propose a surgical technique for MHs in complicated cataracts (patent of the RF No. 2731794 dated 09/08/2020) that involves vitrectomy, posterior hyaloid removal, ILM staining, ILM peeling, formation of a flap from the anterior lens capsule to close MH, and air tamponade. This paper describes a woman who underwent combined surgery for cataract and MH as described. The technique provided a complete and stable anatomical outcome. After 1 month (i.e., after complete resorption of air), the best-corrected visual acuity of the right eye increased to 20/40. IOP was 19.0 mm Hg.
