A case report of a 31-year-old woman who underwent Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis for vitreous floaters, documenting the subsequent development of a macular hole and its management.
Macular hole formation occurred as a postoperative complication following Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis for floaters in a 31-year-old woman.
Single case report with no comparator group; findings cannot be generalized to broader populations or used to estimate incidence of this complication.
Clinicians should counsel patients considering Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis for floaters about the rare but serious risk of macular hole formation, particularly in younger patients.
