The macula is a small but crucial area at the center of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. A macular hole is a tiny break in this tissue. When a hole develops, it can cause blurring, distortion, and even a blind spot in the center of your vision, making everyday activities like reading and recognizing faces challenging. Macular holes often develop as part of the natural aging process, or due to eye trauma and high degrees of myopia. (near-sightedness)
A macular hole is a defect in the center of the macular area of the retina, the region responsible for sharp central and reading vision.
