AbstractA 39-year-old Nigerian woman presented to the eye clinic for a new pair of spectacles on account of a two-week history of headaches and bilateral eye ache. She was a known spectacle wearer for the past nine years. The presenting visual acuity was 6/6 and 6/36, respectively, in the right and left eye. Anterior segment examination was essentially normal bilaterally. Posterior segment examination with binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed a punched out hyperpigmented, chorioretinal scar in the periphery at 6 o'clock and in the left eye, a large macula hole adjacent to a hyperpigmented chorioretinal scar along the inferotemporal arcade was present. Active inflammation was absent in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography confirmed a left, grade-4 full-thickness macula hole.
