Macular Hole treatment in Fort Myers, Florida

Macular Hole near Fort Myers

Lamellar Macular Hole

Full Thickness Macular Hole

Cause

Both types of macular holes can occur due to normal vitreous shrinkage that happens as you age, or may occur in those who are nearsighted or have had an injury to the eye. As we age and the vitreous starts to shrink and pull away from the macula it can sometimes stick on the macula, as a result the macular tissue stretches.

Symptoms

Macular hole symptoms may include a decrease in their central vision or distortion. Everyday activities such as reading may become difficult.

Macular Hole treatment in Fort Myers, Florida

Diagnosis

These conditions can be diagnosed by a complete eye examination and special photographs called optical coherence photography and a fluorescein angiogram.

Treatment

Usually there is no treatment required for a lamellar macular hole; in most cases these close on their own. Full thickness macular holes require surgery in which a bubble is placed in the eye that is used to smooth the retina and close the macular hole.

Prevention

There is no known way of preventing a macular hole from developing. Therefore, regular eye exams are important to make sure that no new eye conditions are developing.
