A macular hole affects the eye, between the vitreous (the jelly like substance in the eye) and the retina itself. A macular hole is usually caused by shrinking and thickening of the vitreous due to aging.

Any part of your body can be affected by a macular hole. However, a macular hole is most common in the eyes, especially on the retina.

What is a macular hole and can it be treated?

A macular hole is a small break in the macula, located in the center of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina. A macular hole can cause blurred and distorted central vision, and occur most often in the elderly. Although some macular holes can seal themselves and require no treatment, surgery is necessary in many cases to help improve vision. The most difficult part of the surgery is not the procedure itself, but the requirement to lay face down for up to three weeks after it is performed.
