+ Larger Font / - Smaller Font Macular Hole The macula is the center of the eye where a person receives fine detail and color vision. Inside of the eye is a clear jelly-like substance called vitreous. The vitreous allows the eye to have the shape that it does. Throughout one’s life, the vitreous shrinks and in some cases causes the macula to pull and tear with the vitreous. Macular holes can also be found in people who have had trauma, chronic macular edema, myopia, and pneumatic retinopexy. Symptoms include but are not limited to blurred or distorted central vision. In most cases, treatments such as surgery or laser have been shown to preserve the vision of the eye. Updated October 11, 2007 West Texas Retina Consultants Sunil S. Patel, M.D., Ph.D. S.
