Hi, I'm a future PCP, still in residency. Had a patient recently with an operculated hole in left eye with no subretinal fluid findings.
This was my first time coming across this condition, I was looking it up, and I feel like how to manage them was pretty vague. I would like to pick your brain so I can explain more in depth to any future patients that come my way.
If I come across a patient with an operculated hole, when do I refer? Always? Only if symptomatic? Only if fluid is noted?
And how do you determine if you will surgically treat these holes? What are the options for treatment?
Thanks
