  • Title: Macular hole formation following thermal laser photocoagulation in a patient with choroidal neovascular membrane and age-related macular degeneration.
    Author: Iranmanesh R, Reddy S, Peiretti E, Slakter JS.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging; 2006; 37(5):423-4. PubMed ID: 17017203.
    Abstract:
    A woman with age-related macular degeneration and an extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization was treated with thermal laser photocoagulation. Three years later, an optical coherence tomography image showed a full-thickness macular hole with some contracture toward the adjacent atrophic laser scar, suggestive of some presumptive tangential forces.
