Macular Hole - Basics & Management 

Hi. Best course is to show a Retinal Specialist.

I hope it worked out for you, Holly. I need surgery for a macular hole, but have other issues they are working on first. The idea of the facedown recovery freaked me out too, until I found a few companies where I can rent a set of equipment to help make that a lot easier. With the three pieces of equipment, I will be able to vary my position. About the cataract, my surgeon advised me that people who have this surgery always get cataracts. It could take a week or a year. Therefore, in order to spare me having two surgeries, he will just do cataract surgery while he is in there. Hope this gives you a bit to think about. If the macular hole is not repaired, I will go blind in the eye, so it’s worth going through it.

Depends on multiple factors. Very difficult to generalize.

If Macular Hole + RD is present, first priority will be to manage RD, as it is more visually disturbing & has poor prognosis if untreated. Macular Hole, if early stage, doesn't require treatment. However, overall prognosis will remain poor.

Take care!

Surgery needed?

Take care! How are you doing?

@@RRDeshpande I’m doing well. My optometrist told me to come in every 3 months rather than once a year. I just found out about it this month. After doing some research I saw that we tend to see a bend in lines, but I don’t have vision like that. Mine are both at the bottom of my eyes though. He told me that-that’s the best place to have them.

Laser, they’ll point the laser to the hole which it’ll scar the hole. The scar will close the hole.

@@rangelcarlos53 oh, because I keep hearing that it's a gas bubble they put in the hole. But the laser doesn't seem as scary.

@@rangelcarlos53 does that mean you don't have to keep your head down afterward?

Example @ 8.25...fovea is predominantly made of cones (NOT RODS).. Don't make such silly mistakes bro
