Understanding Macular Holes
A macular hole is a small break or tear in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed central vision. This condition can lead to a loss of central vision clarity, making it difficult to read, recognize faces, or see fine details. Macular holes typically occur due to age-related changes in the vitreous gel within the eye and can be more common in older adults.
Symptoms of a Macular Hole
The symptoms of macular holes can vary in severity and may include:
From Diagnosis to Recovery: Navigating Macular Hole Care
Diagnosing a macular hole requires a clear look at the inside of your eye, and once identified, our team recommends treatment.
The gold standard for treating macular holes is a surgical procedure known as vitrectomy. During this delicate procedure, our ophthalmologists carefully remove any vitreous gel that’s putting strain on the macula. To aid in the healing process, a temporary gas bubble is placed inside the eye. This bubble acts as a support structure for the macula as it heals and will naturally disperse over time.
