Macular Hole

A macular hole is a small gap that forms in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. It occurs when the vitreous gel in the eye pulls away from the retina, causing damage. This condition can lead to blurry or distorted vision, making it difficult to see fine details. It is more common in older adults and can be treated with surgery to repair the hole and improve vision. Early detection and treatment are essential for the best outcomes. Regular eye exams are important for monitoring eye health.
