Introduction:
Placental-derived amniotic membranes (AM) can be used for both macular holes (MHs) and corneal defects. Here, we present a short report of a recurrent full thickness MH treated with a folded AM graft.
Case Presentation:
Best corrected visual acuity improved from 35 letters after MH recurrence to 55 letters after second surgery. Despite the folding and the large size of the AM, optical coherence tomography confirmed the closure of the MH without significant symptom.
Conclusion:
This report presents the results of the use of a large folded AM, which showed favourable results in terms of visual acuity improvement and successful MH closure, with no adverse effects observed.
