  • Title: Acute macular hole and retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes after neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy.
    Author: Sakimoto S, Saito Y.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2008 Sep; 34(9):1592-4. PubMed ID: 18721725.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 cases of acute onset of macular hole and retinal detachment (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes after uneventful neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. Case 1 was a 76-year-old highly myopic woman who had decreased vision 4 days after Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Macular hole and retinal detachment were detected, and vitrectomy was performed. Case 2 was a 62-year-old highly myopic woman who reported visual loss 1 week after Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Macular hole and retinal detachment were detected, and vitrectomy was performed and the retina reattached. The developmental mechanisms of MHRD after Nd:YAG capsulotomy are discussed.
