Reopening of 2 macular holes after neodymium:YAG capsulotomy.
We report 2 cases of reopening of macular holes after successful neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) posterior capsulotomy. Both patients had surgery for closure of macular holes with recovery of visual acuity. To our knowledge, this is the first report of recurrent macular holes after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy treated successfully with surgery.
