Macular Pucker & Hole

If scar tissue forms on the surface of the macula, the scar tissue can contract the retina and cause it to pucker or wrinkle. These wrinkles may result in vision loss, distortion, or double vision. Surgical treatment can improve vision in many patients.

Macular Hole

When the macula, which is the very center of the retina, develops a small hole, central vision may become blurred or distorted. This causes poor reading vision, but the peripheral vision remains normal. A surgical treatment can improve vision in many patients.
