Özet
The natural history of Neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser-induced macular holes remains uncertain because this type of injury is uncommon. A 47 years old male physicist with the diagnosis of macular hole induced by accidental Nd:YAG laser injury was followed-up. The size of the macular hole decreased and vitreous hemorrhage resolved spontaneously. Accidental exposure to high-energy Nd:YAG laser may lead to concussive retinal damage and create a macular hole. Laser-induced macular holes can resolve spontaneously. The presence of an epiretinal membrane and the size of the macular hole are the common ocular signs that seem to affect the natural course of laser-induced macular holes.
