Optical coherence tomography confirmed a full thickness macular hole. As visual acuity (VA) remained 20/20 Snellen, observation was decided. Spontaneous closure was confirmed after one month. DiscussionReckless use of high-power handheld laser devices may induce severe retinal lesions, including full thickness macular holes. Observation is a sensible treatment option in this type of macular hole, especially when VA is preserved. The pathophysiology of these cases differs from senile full thickness macular holes. ER -
