A macular hole is a small round opening in the macula. The hole causes a blind spot or blurred area directly in the center of your vision. Most macular holes occur in the elderly. When the vitreous (the gel-like substance inside the eye) ages and shrinks, it can pull on the thin ...
It is now understood that idiopathic macular hole affects as many as 100,000 people in the USA, generally afflicting healthy women in their seventh and eight decades (mean age, 65 years) of life who have normal refractive errors.[211] 1. I. Historical Associations and Theories of ...
and recognizing faces. Macular Pucker is characterized by the formation of scar tissue on the macula, causing it to wrinkle or pucker, leading to visual distortions. A Macular Hole, on the other hand, involves the formation of a small break in the macula, which can cause central vision to ...
Idiopathic macular hole is a disease that arises from adhesion in the vitreomacular interface and can theoretically be treated by vitrectomy surgery. Surgical techniques include removal of the vitreous with or without simultaneous peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM), fluid-air exchange, ...

OCT has yielded important insights into the pathogenesis of macular hole development and the mechanism of surgical repair. OCT can be invaluable in the clinical diagnosis of full-thickness macular hole in instances where there is uncertainty when using biomicroscopy, as the appearance on OCT can ...
