Macular hole is characterized by a full-thickness defect of the retinal layers in the center of the fovea and is an important cause of central vision loss. Spontaneous closure of a macular hole is rare, most often occurring in traumatic and idiopathic macular holes. In this case report, we present a 51-year-old woman with a myopic macular hole that closed spontaneously. The patient had degenerative myopia and a history of clear lens surgery and multiple laser retinopexy procedures due to retinal tear in both eyes. A macular hole was detected in her right eye, but she declined surgery and was followed up. At 66 months after presentation, bridge formation and spontaneous closure of the macular hole were observed. Spontaneous closure is extremely rare in cases of myopic macular hole, but may be seen in patients who are followed for a long time.
