Macular hole in diabetic maculopathy.
Three patients with diabetic maculopathy had macular holes. It is suggested that shrinkage or traction of the fibrous proliferation on the edematous and exudative macula led to the formation of these macular holes. Photocoagulation is recommended in patients with macular holes with progressive diabetic retinopathy and visual acuity of less than 0.1.
