case_images: Fundus examination by slit lamp biomicroscopy showed that he had an epiretinal membrane at the macula in his right eye and a vitreomacular traction causing a partial-thickness macular hole in his left eye (Figure 1).
case_images: This preoperative optical coherence tomography image shows the presence of eccentric vitreomacular traction, a partial-thickness macular hole, intraretinal cysts, and a small retinal pigment epithelial detachment.

case_images: The OCT examination of his left eye confirmed the clinically noted findings and showed that his left eye had thick vitreomacular traction, intraretinal cysts, and small retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment (Figure 2).
case_images: This postoperative fundus photograph shows that the macular hole has been closed.
