Can you tell me about macular hole surgery on the eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excellent surgery: Macular hole surgery is one of the great successes of modern ophthalmology. In good hands, it has a greater than 90% success rate at closing the hole, and most patients have good vision recovery. However, how good the vision will be after surgery is not predictable, and generally worse the longer the hole was present before repair. Not having surgery for a macular hole = bad idea.
