“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The underlying cause as suggested by Gass is a progressive anteroposterior and/or tangential traction in the premacular vitreous cortex. 16 Recently, glial cells and myofibroblasts have been suggested to contribute to the generation of such traction forces in the vitreous body, and Schumann et al 17 reported that in 57% of the cases such cell proliferation was detected.…”

“…Since symptoms appear immediately after surgery, the mechanical tension during the cataract surgery on the vitreous body is thought to be the cause, or it may develop by vitreous syneresis of the pseudophakic eye and vitreofoveal traction. [10][11][12] In spite of their ambiguous etiology, the possible mechanisms and causes of MH after ICL implantation can be classified into one of the following four categories:…”

“…From these findings, we can advance the theory that ICL implantation causes biochemical changes leading to acceleration of normal vitreous liquefaction and vitreofoveal traction mechanism related to idiopathic MH. 10 Early vitreous syneresis that developed in the natural course of high myopia may have been accelerated and provoked the idiopathic macular hole in the very young female patient.…”

“…1 The occurrence of macular holes is rare in patients undergoing laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or cataract surgery. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Here, we report two rare cases of macular hole (MH) development acutely and subacutely after phakic intraocular lens implantation in patients with high myopia.…”

We describe two cases of a macular hole (MH) which had divergent manifestations and clinical courses following implantation of an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) in two high myopic patients. The onset of symptoms and shape of the holes, which were observed by optical coherence tomography and fundoscopy, and prognosis of the visual acuity after the surgery of each patient, were quite different. In the first patient, the symptom was an acute onset. Fundoscopy showed a cuneiform-shaped hole with internal limiting membrane defect around the hole. The prognosis after the surgery was very poor, and the best corrected visual acuity was 0.08 after complete anatomical closure. In another patient, the MH showed insidious progression with disease-free interval from ICL implantation to MH onset. After the surgery, the best corrected visual acuity was recovered to 1.0.

“…Patterson et al 1,2 reported five eyes with macular hole formation in the early postoperative period after uncomplicated phacoemulsification. Patients usually complain of blurred vision, distortion, or metamorphopsia that persists despite normal recovery of the cornea and anterior segment after cataract surgery.…”

The theory of macular hole pathogenesis, which had so far been based on biomicroscopy, has been considerably altered by optical coherence tomography. The precise presentation of vitreofoveal pathology shows that forces acting in different directions are associated with different stages of the disease, making surgical treatment adapted to the different stages possible. Some surgical procedures are still controversial, and there is still no gold standard in macular hole surgery. Especially no agreement exists on the benefit of internal limiting membrane peeling, possibly assisted by staining with indocyanine green. Also details of endotamponade and postoperative positioning are controversial. Therefore, the method of surgical treatment depends a lot on the individual surgeon. This review summarizes the broad spectrum of the literature and the present knowledge in this field.
