Purpose
A presentation of two patients with macular hole after ocular trauma due to paintball. Material and methods HRT, OCT, SOCT and visual field examinations were performed preoperatively and on 3 postoperative visits. Patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with trypan blue staining. Results Final visual acuity 0.6 was achieved in the first patient 6 months after surgery. Best corrected visual acuity 0.2 was achieved in the second patient 3 months after surgery. Macular hole closure was observed on OCT, SOCT, HRT and indirect ophthalmoscopy examination. Conclusions Pars plana vitrectomy with trypan blue staining and fluid-air exchange is a safe procedure in posttraumatic macular holes. HRT, Oct and SOCT are valuable tools for diagnosis of macular holes and for control after surgical intervention. keywords:
