Residual defect in the foveal photoreceptor layer detected by optical coherence tomography in eyes with spontaneously closed macular holes.

Purpose: To assess the optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics of spontaneously closed macular hole (MH).

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: Among 510 consecutive eyes examined for an MH before surgery, we retrospectively identified 14 eyes in which the MH closed spontaneously before the operation.
