What is Macular Hole Surgery?
Macular hole surgery is a procedure aimed at repairing a tear or hole in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. A macular hole can lead to significant vision loss if not treated effectively. Surgery involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye and repairing the macular hole to improve visual outcomes.

Diagnosis of Macular Holes
To diagnose a macular hole, our specialists use:
- Dilated Eye Exam: To examine the macula and identify the presence of a hole.
- Ocular Imaging: Such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) to visualize the macula and assess the extent of the hole.
- Visual Acuity Tests: To determine the impact on vision quality.
Recovery from Macular Hole Surgery
Recovery from macular hole surgery typically involves:
- Post-Surgical Care: Following specific instructions such as positioning and avoiding certain activities to support healing.
- Regular Follow-Up: To monitor progress and ensure proper healing.
- Gradual Vision Improvement: Visual acuity may improve over several months following surgery.
