title: [Krypton laser coagulation in idiopathic macular holes].
abstract: Twenty-six eyes with acute idiopathic senile macular holes and visual acuity of between 0.02 and 0.5 were treated by laser coagulation with krypton red. The laser burns were placed in a ring around the hole, at the border of the retinal detachment. A few weeks after treatment marked regression of the detachment was seen. During the follow-up period (3-18 months) visual acuity improved in 18 eyes, deteriorated in 1 and was unchanged in 7.
