The macula is the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. A macular hole is a defect that develops in this area and can affect reading and other tasks requiring central vision.
Macular holes affect central vision.
Distortion and blurred central vision are common symptoms.
Retinal imaging helps in diagnosis.
Vitreoretinal surgery may be recommended in appropriate cases.
Patients may experience blurred or distorted central vision. Reading small print and recognising fine details may become difficult.
A detailed retinal examination and imaging such as optical coherence tomography can help confirm the diagnosis and assess the macula.
Depending on the stage and severity, vitreoretinal surgery may be recommended to close the macular hole and support visual recovery.
