Macular Hole Surgery
Macular hole surgery is a specialized retinal procedure performed to repair a hole in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. A macular hole can cause blurred or distorted vision, making it difficult to read, recognize faces, or perform tasks requiring fine focus. At Desai Eye Hospital, this procedure helps restore and stabilize vision effectively.
The surgery, known as vitrectomy, involves removing the vitreous gel inside the eye and replacing it with a gas bubble. The bubble gently presses the macula back into place, allowing the hole to close and heal over time. Post-surgery, patients may need to maintain a face-down position for a few days to ensure proper healing.
With advanced retinal techniques and expert care, macular hole surgery at Desai Eye Hospital offers high success rates in improving vision.
