Out of the ten eyes enrolled, 6 were idiopathic MH and 4 were myopic MH. Notably, 3 of the myopic MH cases were further complicated by posterior pole retinal detachment. Remarkably, 3 patients improved their best-corrected visual acuity, 5 mantained it and 2 worsened it. All the MH closed. Over this period, three instances of hAM plug misplacement following gas absorption required a secondary surgery employing another hAM.
