Abstract:
We report the clinical case of a 26-year-old victim of a macular injury by high energy laser. The patient was examined in the emergency unit the first day with a retinophotography. He was followed up at 1 week, 3 weeks, and 3 months with an ophthalmologic exam, a retinophotography, and an OCT. The lesions progressed from edema with macular hemorrhage to macular necrosis and then to a macular hole. The macular injury by high energy laser was responsible for a necrotic modification of the macula preceding the formation of the macular hole.
