title: [Macular hole associated with paintball ocular trauma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A presentation of two patients with macular hole after ocular trauma due to paintball.
  
  
  METHODS
  HRT, OCT, SOCT and visual field examinations were performed preoperatively and on 3 postoperative visits. Patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with trypan blue staining.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Final visual acuity 0.6 was achieved in the first patient 6 months after surgery. Best corrected visual acuity 0.2 was achieved in the second patient 3 months after surgery. Macular hole closure was observed on OCT, SOCT, HRT and indirect ophthalmoscopy examination.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pars plana vitrectomy with trypan blue staining and fluid-air exchange is a safe procedure in posttraumatic macular holes. HRT, Oct and SOCT are valuable tools for diagnosis of macular holes and for control after surgical intervention.
