A 28-year-old female patient who had had no history of systemic disease, trauma, drug use, or intraocular surgery had progressive vision loss and nyctalopia in her right eye. Her anterior and posterior segment examination revealed posterior subcapsular cataract and RP with lamellar macular hole (MH) in the right eye. Surgery was planned and after phacoemulsifi cation and intraocular lens implantation as well as pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling, the lamellar MH was completely closed and the foveal contour is formed. Many macular abnormalities can be seen in unilateral RP cases. It is of great importance to detect these macular pathologies early to apply appropriate treatment and to prevent the addition of central visual fi eld to peripheral visual fi eld lost due to RP.
