چکیده
Macular hole surgery is very demand surgery performed due to fullthickness macular rupture characterized by abscence of all retinal layers. Indications for surgery includes stages 3 and 4 regarding to Gass classification. Some authors sugest surgery for stage 2 but results are promissing only in anatomical reconstruction. Complications are evident such as cataract, late macular reopening, retinal tears and detachment, visual field defect etc. With improving surgical techniques, the rate of complications became lower.
