Macular Hole Surgery

Macular hole surgery is a specialized surgical procedure used to treat a condition called macular holes in the eye. The macula is a small area near the center of the retina, which is responsible for clear, sharp vision. A macular hole occurs when this area becomes damaged or torn, leading to blurry, distorted vision or even a loss of central vision. The surgery involves the use of advanced techniques and equipment to repair the damaged macula and restore normal vision. Typically, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient remains awake throughout the procedure. During the surgery, the eye surgeon creates a small incision in the eye and removes the vitreous gel from the eye. Next, a tiny patch of tissue that is taken from another part of the eye or from a donor eye is placed over the macular hole. The patch is held in place with a gas bubble that is injected into the eye. The bubble helps to keep the tissue patch in place while the eye heals. After the surgery, the patient will need to remain in a face-down position for several days to allow the patch to heal properly. The patient will also need to use eye drops and follow specific instructions from the surgeon to promote healing and prevent infection. Overall, macular hole surgery is an effective treatment option for individuals with macular holes, providing a greater chance of restoring normal vision and improving overall quality of life.
