Macular Holes

Macular holes are just that — holes in the macula. The macula is the central portion of the retina that is responsible for seeing fine details clearly. Macular holes involve cellophane-like wrinkling of the macula. If the wrinkling is especially severe, it can stretch the macula and cause a hole to form.

Symptoms of Macular Holes

  • Distorted vision
  • Loss of central vision

Macular Hole Treatment

Many macular holes are treatable with vitrectomy surgery, which is the removal of the vitreous gel from the middle of the eye.

If you are experiencing any vision disturbances or vision loss, contact us to schedule an eye exam so we can determine the root cause of your problem and begin treatment.
