Abstract: With the emergence of microinvasivevitreo-retina surgical modalities of 25G and 27G systems, the trend is shifting towards early surgical interventions for various retinal pathologies. But we might be forgetting that pharmacotherapy still plays an important role and may circumvent the need of surgery in some cases. Full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) are a rare association with uveitis and have a limited number of published case reports on their management protocols. Our case was a uveitic full thickness macular hole which closed well with pharmacotherapy in turn inciting us to do a literature review on the reported cases of uveitic macular holes and their existingmanagement strategies
