Pathogenetic mechanisms of macular holes: a review of recent research work

https://doi.org/10.21516/2072-0076-2023-16-2-183-187

Abstract

The literature review focuses on penetrating macular holes, a topical issue in vitreoretinal surgery. Multiple theories and the modern view on the pathogenetic mechanisms macular hole formation are presented. A classification of macular holes is proposed.
