How and when do you treat a macular buckle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Macular pucker: You may mean macular pucker, which is treated surgically by peeling the membrane off the retina. The surgery is done when the benefit outweighs the risk. That means one waits until the vision is affected significantly.
