A 60-year-old hypertensive female was planned for vitrectomy for stage 4 full-thickness macular hole[1] in her left eye [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, she followed up after 4 months. The best-corrected visual acuity remained the same at 20/200. Dilated fundus revealed spontaneous closure of the macular hole along with signs of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and an epiretinal membrane [Figure 1]c and [Figure 1]d. The possible causes of spontaneous hole closure, in this case, may be CRVO-induced macular edema and/or centripetal forces due to the epiretinal membrane. PVD, a common cause of spontaneous hole closure, was ruled out by pre-existing PVD at the time of initial presentation [arrow [Figure 1]b]. | Figure 1: (a) Fundus photograph showing left eye macular hole, (b) swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) showing full-thickness macular hole with detached posterior vitreous (arrow), (c) fundus photograph showing central retinal vein occlusion, (d) SSOCT showing closed hole with residual outer retinal layer defect, epiretinal membrane
