[Vitrectomy under optical observation (author's transl)].

Abstract

Slit lamp biomicroscopy without contact lens is achieved by upright Gullstrand fundus microscopy. The controlled angulation of the slit beam makes it possible to measure the position of objects in the vitreous cavity by correction of object and image points. This form of stereotaxis is used for guiding the laser beam in the fundus.

[Spontaneous resolution of idiopathic macular hole type IV: optical coherence tomography follow-up].

CASE REPORT: A fifty-five year old patient with visual loss in the left eye was diagnosed to have a complete idiopathic macular hole. After a three-week observational period, spontaneous resolution of the macular hole was observed with vision recovery, all of this clearly demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). DISCUSSION: Spontaneous resolution of the idiopathic macular hole is infrequent (3-6%). OCT follow-up enabled monitoring of the closure mechanisms. Complex surgery was avoided by a short observational period.
