I read with great interest the article by Bernstein and Steffensmeier¹ entitled "Optical Coherence Tomography Before and After Repair of a Macular Hole Induced by an Unintentional Argon Laser Burn" that appeared in the March issue of the ARCHIVES. There are certain points that I would like to clarify and supplement in this regard.

Bernstein and Steffensmeier mentioned that after repair of the macular hole, optical coherence tomography revealed a small lucency that corresponded to the interruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer with a possible residual foveolar detachment. Of note, they used a third-generation optical coherence tomography machine (Stratus OCT3; Carl Zeiss Meditech, Inc, Dublin, Calif) that shows 2 highly reflective layers (HRL) at the level of the outer retina: the outer HRL corresponding to the RPE-choriocapillaris complex and the inner HRL corresponding to the junction between the inner and outer photoreceptor segments.² This is in . . .
