Pediatric and Adolescent Traumatic Macular Hole: A Systematic Review

The optimal management of pediatric traumatic macular holes (TMH) is unclear from lack of prospective randomized trials. The literature is divided into early ( ≤1month post-trauma), delayed (>1month) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and observation. Our aim is to find which group can achieve superior spectacle corrected visual acuity (VA), visual gain, and time for hole closure.
